The Hedding Holiday Countdown will be going home with the students on Monday, 11/24/25 so you have time to figure out all those fun dress up days. We can't wait to see all of the fun outfits the students and staff come up with if they choose to participate. Remember - dressing up is optional!

Thank you so much for the coat donations from McDonough Power!! We so appreciate you!! Please reach out to Miss Katelin Nelson if your child needs a winter coat.

Happy 67th day of school!!!!
