Sending our beloved art teacher, Mrs. Knight, off with a BANG to kick-start her retirement! We will miss you dearly, Mrs. Knight!

Putting in "bizness," as Mr. Maloy would say, at Boosterthon on Wednesday!

I scream, you scream, we all scream for ice cream! Thank you to the Ledfords for the delicious ice cream sundae bar!
