The United States Coast Guard is the branch of the US Armed Forces responsible for keeping America’s coasts, ports, and waterways safe.  The 50,000+ members of the Coast Guard serve as border security, law enforcement, and first responders.  On a typical day, the US Coast Guard will conduct 42 search and rescue missions, save 12 lives, prevent more than 1,400 pounds of illegal drugs from entering our country, investigate 26 pollution incidents to protect our environment, and MUCH more!  Coast Guard members and veterans, thank you for your service to our country!

Several students from Mrs. Gehrke's Literacy class are collecting donations to local nonprofits as part of their passion projects.  Please look in the front entry hallway to find boxes where you can drop off items for HAWS, the Hope Center, or a local women's shelter!  Items needed include hygienic items, water bottles, garbage bags, pet food, paper towels, and many more.  Check the boxes and posters in the front entryway for a full list!  Thank you for considering supporting these great causes.

Students - Whether you are walking home, getting picked up or riding your bike, ALWAYS cross at the marked crosswalk. This is where adults are stationed to help you cross Ottawa Ave safely.  Please remember to also use the sidewalk after you have crossed the street.

Drivers - Please be patient as we close out the school year and battle the congestion and increased traffic due to the Bridge work on Hwy 18.  We are all looking forward to this project being completed… hopefully before the end of the school year!

Please remind your student to use the crosswalk and sidewalks. Please be alert and watch for pedestrians and stop for people in crosswalks. Thanks for working together to make our community safer.

Time to celebrate the end of another successful school year!
