Save the Date! Summer Camps will be here before you know it!







The maintenance crew has worked hard before break and during break to get the new bleachers set up before the first MS track meet on April 1. They had to fight the wind and elements this week to put the finishing touches on it.






Have an AMAZING and SAFE Spring Break!!!

A team won 175 to 120 and B team 110 to 70. 7 students answered toss ups. Cozy had 4, Hadley with 3, Liam, Aydenn, and Dakoda with 2, then Brooklyn and Jovie answering one each.

Update from Dr. Hellrigel:
Hello Raiders,
The sirens have stopped and students are being released and buses are being loaded thank you for your patience and understanding as we take pride in keeping our students safe.
Have a good evening!


From Dr. Hellrigel:
Hello Raiders -
Out of abundance and precaution we have unloaded buses and have instructed our teachers and students to take shelter in our buildings until the tornado sirens stop going off in Green Valley. Our budlings are reinforced concrete and steel and the safest place for students to be at the moment. I will put out an all call when we've cleared the buses for home transport.
Thank you,
Todd Hellrigel

Legend has it... Leprechauns are shoemakers for fairies and that's how they earn their gold. They are very hard to catch and if you blink, they can disappear.
