🐾 What a paws-itively wonderful day! Today, our therapy dog, Marnie, visited each of our preschool classes. The children played a fun "turn-taking" game with Marnie's toys, each took a gentle turn petting her, and were treated to some amazing tricks at the end of her visit. It was so much fun for everyone! 🐶❤️
Mark your calendars! This Wednesday, October 21, 2026 is a 2:00 p.m. early dismissal day!

Whether it's starting the day on the right paw or sharing a sweet hello, Marnie brings so much joy to our school community!
The 8th grade students worked on local history fair topics in Mrs. Myer's history class and got assistance from Amanda Carter, Director of the LaSalle County Historical Museum. She brought primary sources from the museum for students to use for their research. Thank you!
