The Homecoming parade route WILL NOT be going down Main Street today. We will start at the NE end of the school by the tennis courts/playground. Then we will proceed to the nursing home and loop around back to the NE end of the school. Go Titans!!!

Walk to Anywhere Day (Walk to School Day) is Wednesday, October 7th. Join others across our state and walk to school if you can. Get a jump on your day and join friends, parents and your siblings and walk to school! Biking works just as well. Be safe and have fun! Regular physical activity can help build strong bones, muscles, joints, and most importantly, can help reduce the risk of obesity.
