What a wonderful Walkathon we had! Friday was so much fun! It was a breath of fresh air to return to the normalcy of the annual event with so many family members joining their students. The committee and I thank each of you who participated in any way. I personally want to thank all the people who volunteered their time throughout our FUNdraising month to make it happen. Our school is truly one of a kind, and this event highlights how much the involvement of loving parents, grandparents, friends, and neighbors makes amazing things happen for our school. 

Please say thank you to these committee members when you see them - Ashley Lilburn, Brayden Hudson, Melinda Dumas, and Meredith Rowsey. Others who also gave above and beyond with their time and generosity: Megan Powers, Nancy Sticksel, Beth and Shelby Timmerman, Christine Hudson, Amy Burch, and Jenn Nevitt. 

Our amount raised is nearing $56,000 and still climbing! We had an incredible turnout for the walk and so much excitement and energy - HIking the Hills Together! It was a great day to be a Mustang! 

Your 2021 Walkathon Chair,

Emily McNay

We are very sorry that our students still have not received their yearbooks from last year. There have been many delays with the vendor and distributor that have affected not only our school but other schools within our pyramid. We will continue to update as we hear more information. Again, we are very sorry for this inconvenience. Thank you all for your patience and understanding.
