We're excited to welcome everyone back to Senior Badminton starting Friday, September 11, from 10:00 AM to 12:00 PM.

Whether you've been practicing your badminton skills all summer or your racquet has been taking a well-deserved break, we'd love to see you back on the court!

When: Fridays, beginning September 11
Time: 10:00 AM to 12:00 PM

As always, new players are welcome, so spread the word and bring a friend. It's a great way to stay active, have some fun, and enjoy a little friendly competition.

The school bells ring tomorrow!

That means more children on sidewalks, at crosswalks, and waiting for buses.

A quick reminder for everyone on the road:

Eyes up.
Phones down.
Keep our children safe and sound.

A few extra seconds of attention can make all the difference. Slow down and stay alert as our students head back to school.
