Exciting Internal Shifts:
Krista Wiedeman moves to 6th Grade ELA, continuing her dedication to fostering strong literacy skills in our youngest middle school Bulldogs.
Andrea Schlothauer will lead 6th Grade Math as we start the year, expertly guiding students until Monty Zeiler returns from military service in mid-September. We thank Mr. Zeiler for his service and eagerly await his return.
