Good Morning! Today is Friday, February 7th and it is an A Day for everyone!! 

Happy Birthday to Malcolm M.!!! and over the weekend to Destiny W.!!!

CONGRATULATIONS to our 8th grade boys basketball team!!! It's always a bittersweet moment when a sports season ends because our hearts were set on going all the way, yet we are so proud of the young men and all they have accomplished this season. While most of them have been playing together for 3 years, they will each embark on their own destinies and venture to various high schools in the coming months. PLease always remember that we are rpoud of you and you will always be Leopards in our hearts! Good job this season to Coach Robinson and Coach Davis as well. 

Players please return washed uniforms to Mrs. Lott as soon as possible.

Cheerleaders: Thank you for your support, cheer, and smiles throughout the basketball season!! Please return washed uniforms to Mrs. Lott as soon as possible.

TRACK: Calling all students interested in running track, staying in shape, or participating in field sports!! We will begin track season the first of March. If you are in 7th/8th grade and have not gotten an updated physcial in the past year, please do so before the season starts. All athletes must have a current physical on file to participate.
