Dear Families and Caregivers,
Summer break is a whirlwind of sun-soaked adventures, cherished moments with family, and unforgettable fun with friends. Although summer is filled with the excitement of time off, some educational side effects may occur if not targeted. The “summer slide” is a term used to describe the learning loss that happens when students are not in school.
Early Literacy Matters offers family-friendly activities, printable resources, and helpful tips to foster a love of reading at home. You’ll find easy-to-use ideas that promote vocabulary building, phonics, and reading comprehension, all designed to fit into your daily routines.













In a prank that will go down in school history, Reeves Witte, Garrett Cumbow, Sutton Shrunk, surprised staff by setting up a full cattle corral right in the teacher parking lot—complete with a few very confused (but well-behaved) guests.
All in good fun and plenty of laughs, this one definitely earns a spot among the all-time great senior pranks. Safe to say… no one will be forgetting this anytime soon.
Will next year's class raise the . . . . steaks?
