Flint Water Fundraisers-

Thanks to all of our students and staff who contributed to the Flint water issues by wearing their hats.  This Thursday, February 4th we will wear pajamas for $1 to also aide this very worthy cause.

With the start of a new semester it is also a new start for students.  We hope the second half of the year is a successful one for your son/daughter!  Please help them keep those established routines for studying, homework, being on time to school, and giving 100% on a daily basis.
