We are excited to celebrate Grandparents’ Day with our Kindergarten – 2nd grade students and their grandparents! Please join us for a special morning honoring the important role grandparents play in our students’ lives. After breakfast, make your way to the Book Fair in the Administration Building and enjoy shopping for books together. We can’t wait to see our youngest Hornets sharing this special day with their grandparents!

It’s that time of year again—Pee Wee Basketball is starting up soon! Coach Lance Hulse will be leading the program this season, and we’re excited to see our young Hornets hit the court! If your child is interested in playing, please fill out the attached form and return it to the Elementary Office by Friday, September 19th.

These contests provide students with the opportunity to express their ideas about democracy, patriotism, and what it means to be an American—while competing for recognition and scholarship awards. This year's theme is: 

The Voice of Democracy audio contest is for students in Grades 9–12. The top Local Prize is $500, along with the opportunity to advance to district, state, and national levels. Patriot’s Pen essay contest is for students in Grades 6–8. Top winners will receive a monetary award and advance to further competitions and awards at higher levels. Winners from each contest will read their essays at the Veterans Assembly on November 10th this year.   Deadline to submit entries for both contests: October 17, 2025

Applications and contest guidelines are available through your Social Studies teacher or Mrs. Nelson.
