Pre-K students celebrating President’s Day!
over 3 years ago, Abby Dickey
Pre-k students enjoyed learning about President’s Day and Abraham Lincoln and George Washington.  We learned who our current President is and where he lives.
Over the weekend, Pulaski County lost a deputy in a tragic car accident. Deputy Utley will be greatly missed. Many of the are schools are doing a Back the Blue day. We will be observing this on Friday, February 25. We are asking everyone to wear blue in Deputy Utley’s memory, and in support of all law enforcement officers. Also, we are collecting 1.00 from all who are able to donate, to send to his family to help with expenses. We appreciate your help and participation in Back the Blue day.
