Fourth graders designed homes that would appeal to gingerbread families in CCT class. Once completed, these kindergarteners helped select homes that the gingerbread men would like to buy by looking at curb appeal, expense, and room descriptions. Eight homes would "sold" today! :)

Please join us in congratulating Andy Stahl, an 8th grade student, on an outstanding achievement.

Andy has been officially selected to participate in the All State Game Football event. This is a significant honor that recognizes his talent, work ethic, and commitment to the game. Being chosen for an All State Game places Andy among a select group of athletes who have demonstrated exceptional performance and potential.

Andy will represent our school as a running back and is part of the Class of 2030. We are proud of his dedication, discipline, and the way he represents himself, his teammates, and our school community.

Congratulations, Andy. This is a well earned accomplishment, and we look forward to watching you continue to grow and succeed.

The AGWSR High School Library is all sorts of Jingles and Jangles through the month of December! One more week for HS students to choose their "gift" of reading (and candy canes... and bookmarks)!

Cougar's Den Daycare and Preschool will be closed December 12th due to potential gas leak.

Today, the 5th and 7th grade SAIL had the opportunity to help the Salvation Army with their toy drive. There were a lot of toys and clothes to organize! Students also bagged the gifts and helped carry the items to people's cars! It was rewarding to help others!

Due to anticipated weather conditions, we will end school at our Wednesday early dismissal time.

Please plan accordingly and ensure arrangements are made for your student's early pick-up or bus arrival. If you have any questions, feel free to contact the school office.

All evening activities and practices are canceled and games will be postponed.

Thank you for your understanding and cooperation.

Over 100 million Christmas crabs travel to the coast to lay their eggs on Christmas Island. This 5 mile trip can take up to a month where the crabs travel through forests and roads. During CCT, the 1st & 2nd grade engineers were tasked to design and build a bridge for vehicles to drive over to prevent running over the crabs. These were some of Mrs. Bear's builds!
