Consider calling in a Taco Shore order to help with our Dining for Dollars fundraiser going on all month long!
- VIPs Needed in the Front Office!
The effects of parental involvement on student achievement are clear: family involvement increases the likelihood that students will graduate, improve their grades, have better attendance, and go to college.If you are interested in helping and only have an hour or less, consider helping the front office with copying, bulletin board announcements or lunch supervision. Please click here to see ways you can help.

MUSTANG DRIVE UPDATE!
With our Mustang Drive corporate sponsorships and the help of our Rogers families, we raised a little over $45K!! Thank you to each and every one of you for the time and effort you put into this to make it such a huge success!!
This week, we pulled names for all our Red Ticket and Gold Ticket prizes. All of the students who won something will get a slip from their 1st period teacher next Monday, March 20 to redeem at lunch time on Tuesday, March 21 (weather permitting).
Congratulations! We are so proud of our Mustangs who participated in the preliminary round, the semifinals and the championship! Emmit (6th), Matthew (7th), and Claire (8th) did an excellent job getting to the Championships and our final Jeopardy winner was…Emmit
