Happy MLK Jr. Holiday!

Good Evening Everyone!

This week's spelling words will be tested next week Monday to give students an extra day to practice. Fifth Grade through eighth Grade will be participating in the School-Wide Spelling Bee Tomorrow to determine who will go to the Regional Spelling Bee in Miami in February. Students who are participating have lists and should be studying for the competition tomorrow.
