Daily Announcements for April 24, 2026
Happy Earth Day Week! Did you know that every year around 11 million tons of plastic enters our oceans and that only 9% of plastic ever produced is recycled? Do your part by throwing bottles and other plastic items in recycling bins around our school! We hope you had fun this week with the dress up days, trivia and prizes, but the fun does not have to stop! The finale is a carnival this Saturday from 1-3 pm in the high school parking lot. There will be games, food, and prizes. Hope to see you there!
