Attention Parents :


Another fabulous field trip year comes to an end.
6th graders were able to experience the Middle Ages up close at Medieval Times and see the Egyptian mummies and artifacts at the Field Museum of Chicago.
7th graders walked in Abraham Lincoln's footsteps in and around his home in Springfield, while also visiting the General Assembly in the Capitol building.
8th graders celebrated the end of junior high and new beginnings as they head of to high school at Indiana Beach.
Thank you to our great administrators and school board! And to all of you who helped raise money in our fundraisers which make these learning experiences possible!
