Thank you to all that attended Donkey Basketball sponsored by the Bowbells Student Council. We all had so much fun!

Due to the forecasted blizzard conditions, we will start school at 10 am tomorrow, December 18. Breakfast will not be served. We will reevaluate the conditions at daylight tomorrow. If we are not able to have school tomorrow, we will have a full day on Friday.

The weatherman is not predicting a favorable day for Thursday, so I have attached two different schedules for semester tests. If we are not able to have school on Thursday, we will be going a full day on Friday, otherwise we will dismiss at 1:00 on Friday for break.
