The 5th Graders raised $2,111.82 to help purchase Christmas presents for the Doniphan County Sheriff’s Department’s Christmas Drive. The students were divided into teams and learned about budgeting their money to buy items at Walmart and the importance of raising money for an important cause. The Sheriff’s Department came to the school, and the students helped load their vehicles with gifts.





The Elementary Christmas Concert was enjoyed by all. Thank You, Mr. Stroud for a great evening.






The Family Night at the Book Fair was a huge success. It was great seeing all the families and the excitement that books can bring. A big THANK YOU goes out to Stacey Miner for organizing the Book Fair and also to PTO for providing snacks and setting up voting booths so students can vote on their favorite books from the fair. (PTO is generously purchasing the top 5 vote winning books for the elementary library) Also Thank You to the teachers that volunteered extra time to make this event a success. We couldn’t have done it without all of you!❤️
