Dear Parents and Guardians,

This is a reminder that tomorrow, the last day of school, will be an early dismissal day. Dismissal will begin at 12:30 p.m.

Please plan accordingly for transportation if your child is a car rider, please be here at that time to pick them up. If your child is a bus rider, the buses will be running, just keep in mind they will arrive home much earlier than a normal school day. You can check the progress of the bus with the My Ride K-12 app.
We appreciate your partnership and support throughout the school year and hope your family has a wonderful summer.

It was an exciting end to the week as 39 students and 12 staff members battled it out in the annual Battle of the Books competition! They worked in teams to answer questions and identify quotes from some of this year's William Allen White books, a total of 16 books. They should be so proud of their hard work, perseverance, and teamwork! Way to go, Mustang readers! 📕Thank you to all who helped in any way to make this end-of-year tradition happen!

Thanks to the incredible generosity of our students and families during the Kids Heart Challenge, we raised over $4,800 for the American Heart Association!

As part of the celebration, students earned the chance to throw a pie at a staff member of their choice for every $100 they raised — and the results were unforgettable!

We had so much fun celebrating our students’ hard work, kindness, and commitment to helping others. Be sure to enjoy the photos below and relive some of the messy, laughter-filled moments from this special event!
