We’re proud to join schools across Iowa in the #StopTheProp campaign, launched by the Iowa Association of School Boards.

The message is simple but important: keep exterior doors shut & secure. A closed door is a safer door for everyone on campus. 🚪

Our 1st graders had a blast singing and playing “Monkey See, Monkey Do” in music class. They’re learning how to keep a steady beat while having fun together!
