Facebook:  School now has a Facebook page.  Our main purpose in starting a Facebook page is to share daily activities, important events, and information with parents, relatives, friends, and supporters.  Please pass the word along to those who may be interested in seeing what is going on at school.  We start a Facebook page with a bit of caution.  Other schools have found a Facebook page very helpful but also have had trouble with comments that people post on pictures.  Due to this, we will delete all comments made on the pictures on school's Facebook page.  This will keep us from having to decide if comments are acceptable or unacceptable.

Card Table:  If anyone has an old card table that you no longer need, please contact Mike Vander Veen.
