One of our sweet families lost their home in a house fire this week. The fire resulted in a total loss of the home and all belongings inside. The family also lost all of their Christmas gifts. Our students and staff are heart broken for the Conner family. We would like to find a way to help ensure that Brad, Cassandra, and their 6 children have a merry Christmas. For this reason, we are collecting money and gift cards to be sent to the family. Donations can be dropped off at the elementary or high school office. Thanks for your support!
