Free and Reduced will be distributed from 11:30-12:30 TODAY, and we will distribute remaining boxes right after that.

Parents - with school quickly approaching, we have had several of you reach out to us asking about Back to School paperwork. We are working diligently in the office to get this out to you as soon as possible, as it will be done different this year. Please keep an eye on your email and the school app as we will be sending an email to all parents by the end of the week (likely not until Friday) with back to school information! We are excited to be back in the buildings, but want to make sure we have everything updated before pushing it out to everyone!

From the Whistle Stop: Yay! It's Prom Time! If you are planning on ordering your flowers from The Whistle Stop, I ask you to do 3 things to refresh my memory. 1. Message me on facebook a photo of your dress and state the color. Sometimes it's hard to tell the color on the computer. 2. Tell me the name of your date on what color they are wearing. 3. If you have a bracelet you want to use, bring it in a ziplock marked with your name. If you previously brought your bracelet, I still have it! If you have any questions, please feel free to call 402-684-3327! Thank you!
