Last Friday, the kindergartners participated in the annual egg hunt on the playground! 🥚

Parents of 3rd-8th Grade Students, please ask your child for the solar eclipse informational letter that was sent home today. The permission form needs to be returned to school in order for your child to participate in the viewing of this celestial event.

We're SO proud of all of our artists who had their art showcased at the annual a Artworks Fine Art Festival this past weekend at Lincoln-Way East!
