💼🦅 REALITY U!
Our 8th and 10th grade students had the opportunity to take part in Reality U, a hands-on experience that gives students a look at budgeting, careers, financial decisions, and the realities of adult life.
Students worked through real-world scenarios, made choices about housing, transportation, food, childcare, and more, and saw just how quickly a monthly budget can change.
A huge thank you to everyone who helped make this experience possible for our students!

Safety First: Transportation Update
Today, five State Troopers worked alongside three bus drivers, district staff, and our contract bus mechanic to complete the district’s annual fleet inspections.
In about one hour, the team inspected 11 buses and eight district vehicles. One additional vehicle is currently away with Student Council and will be inspected when it returns.
A traffic safety improvement was also completed at the grade school. The yield sign for departing traffic from the Prekindergarten and Kindergarten parking area at the front exit has been replaced with a stop sign.
Thank you to everyone who helped complete today’s inspections and continues working to keep our students, staff, and community safe.
