The JH Track meet scheduled for today at Russellville will now be on Tuesday, May 5 at 2:00pm.

This summer, one of our projects is a facelift for our gym. We are having the floor sanded, repainted, and sealed, and we would like our community's input on the design. This should last for 15-20 years, so we want it to be something our community, parents, and students are proud of. Please look at the two mock-ups and let us know what you think about the design elements--we can combine them in any way--we don't have to choose one complete design over the other. We will not be including the volleyball court lines on the final design.
Here is the link to the form to vote: https://forms.gle/j2fN58hgnnB1cRAH6
Voting will close at 3:00 p.m. this Friday, May 1st, and we'll let you know the results and share the new mock-up the next week!

The Spring Music Concert will be held on Wednesday, April 29 at 6:30 PM. All students in Kindergarten through 8th grade will be participating. Students should report to their homerooms by 6:15 PM to prepare for the performance.

Mock car crashes are never easy to watch. It is gut-wrenching to see students act out accident scenes, but these experiences serve an important purpose. They help educate our students on how quickly accidents can happen and reinforce the importance of making safe, responsible decisions. Thank you to all of the students who participated, as well as the Miller County Sheriff’s Department, Miller County Ambulance District, and the St. Elizabeth Volunteer Fire Department. We are grateful for your time, your service, and your continued commitment to keeping our community safe.
