Ms. Jess’s Preschool class enjoyed donuts for being a top fundraising class for the Walk-A-Thon. Thank you Parent Group for providing us with this treat!

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. 🚪
