  • June 3rd is step-up day. 4th graders will be coming from the Dunn School, and our 8th graders will be going to the High School. All students will be meeting with their Advisors.
  • June 6th is Wellness Day (rain date June 9th). We will be engaging students in a number of activities throughout the day. 
  • June 6th is the last dance of the year at 6:00PM.
