Here are the current standings for our Read Grateful reading challenge. You will see, there have been a few changes in the staff and 7th grade leaderboards. The challenge ends NEXT FRIDAY, December 12.






Our school recently hosted a Career Day to give our students a chance to see what different job opportunities they might be interested in once they enter the work world. Our Student Council members also got to practice some hospitality skills toward our guests. The Foxes' Den is so lucky to have such great community members who are willing to come and spend the day with us!
