ASE is starting back up tomorrow. Again, After School Explorers resumes tomorrow, and we’re sorry for the inconvenience and delay. It will run Monday through Thursday from 2:25 to 4:25, and a reminder that parents must pick up their students because busing is not available.
We will not be holding Bible Club or FCA after school today, Friday the 27th. Sorry for any inconvenience and we look forward to seeing everyone next week.
Due to the pending weather tomorrow that is supposed to occur throughout the evening, we have decided to cancel the rescheduled concert and postpone parent/teacher conferences for Thursday, February 23rd from 4-6:30. Sorry for the inconvenience, but if the storm hits in the evening tomorrow or while parents, students and staff are here, we don't want to risk putting people on the roads later in the evening. (We will not be rescheduling the concert, as students need to prep for spring performances, however, we will conduct a few facebook lives that will save the videos during class next week, so you can see your students performance of those holiday songs)

Softball sign-ups are currently going on for any interested 6th through 8th grade girls who have a 2.0 GPA or higher. As of now, we are at the minimum needed to field a school team, so are looking for any interested players. Our coach is excellent at developing new players, so even someone with minimal experience is encouraged to come out and be a part of our Lady Eagles team. Sign-ups are on the office door. Thank you.
