Sea of Colors

The CC Shirts are in! If you missed ordering the first time around, a second order will be placed on September 3, 2008. Pick up your order forms from any of the school offices. Our goal is to get every student, teacher, employee, and parent in one of our shirts every Monday morning to help us celebrate the character transformations that are taking place at our schools.

"I've Got the Power"

Excitement is building in the halls of our schools; the kick-off for the 2008-2009 Character Counts campaign, "I've Got the Power", is almost here. Festivities will begin on Monday, September 8, 2008, in the new gymnasium at 9:00 A. M. This year, with each character pillar change, we will include our entire district, our veterans, the K-4, our Middle School, and our High School. Our program will still concentrate on the six pillars of character - trustworthiness, respect, responsibility, fairness, caring, and citizenship.
