Four years ago today this year's 8th grade class was on their first snowshoe adventure as 4th graders. Many of the same faces are still smiling today while they hit the trail on Boulder Pass.

Attention families: The Rabbit and Bear buses are combined today. This means the Rabbit bus will run one hour late. We apologize for this inconvenience.

CELEBRATING ATTENDANCE!

A break in the elementary ROAR trips in February allowed time for the 7th grade to enjoy a beautiful sunny day on Boulder pass for their first outdoor adventure.

This Wednesday, Feb. 8th, your Lady Tigers (2nd seed of the North) will take on the ACH Warriors (3rd seed of the South) at 6 pm on our home court.

As a class team building exercise, Mr. Avila’s class was challenged to walk further than Mrs. King’s 3rd grade class did last week. Challenge accepted and conquered. Mr. Avila’s adventure rangers were able to snowshoe almost 3 ½ miles, beating Miss King’s class by little more than a ½ mile.

Please join me in celebrating our school board during the month of January for School Board Recognition Month!
