Thanks to a school building project, our elementary school boasts state-of-the-art technology, with computers in each classroom in addition to a computer lab; a large, bright media center; and a cafeteria featuring a mural of life-sized "ABCs," depicting each letter with items that represent the sound for children to learn from. This mural was designed by our art teacher, and painted by parents, students and volunteers.

For delayed openings and cancellations due to inclement weather, please listen to your local radio and televison stations.
