As may have heard, there was an accident on M-115 near N. 9 Road after school today involving one of our buses. Our bus was rear-ended by another vehicle. Thankfully, no one was injured and all students were transferred to another bus and driven home. . The driver of the bus was uninjured and able to remain calm and support the students as they awaited the arrival of the other bus. Mr. Akom, Mr. Fowler and Mr. Charnes all went to the scene to assist in safely transferring the students to the other bus. Once again, we are very thankful that no one was injured and that all of our students are safe.
First Graders went on a leaf hunt this week, we used them to make fall collages. We have talked about seasons and why trees change colors.

Tonight is our first home varsity football game. Due to restrictions on crowd sizes, players and band members are only allowed 2 guests each. Unfortunately, this means that students and community will currently not be able to attend as spectators unless they are the guest of a player. We have set up a live stream that will be available on our YouTube channel located at the following link: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCZEctxCtQyvEKdXBEBQ_WfQ
