Sometimes the most meaningful support is the kind you never expected!

Although we did not hold a formal school supply drive this year, several generous members of our community stepped forward to donate supplies for our students. A heartfelt thank you to Makenna Witting, the Women of the Moose Chapter, and Aaron McCord with WinField United for your thoughtful contributions.

Your generosity helps ensure our students have what they need to begin the school year with confidence. We are incredibly grateful to be part of such a caring community!

Students arriving early due to bus transportation or other circumstances are welcome to do so. Staff will be available to supervise until their scheduled start time.
