Hey Raccoon Community!
On Tuesday, October 18, 2022, we will host our fall Career, College, and Life Readiness Day. The purpose of this day is to give each grade level specific learning experiences rooted in our school values of being grounded in our values and purpose, committed to our goals, and accountable to ourselves and each other.

Please click here to review the details sent by Mrs. Anders earlier this month.

It will be a great day of learning, connecting with each other, and reflecting on our future plans.
