Students in Mrs. Sapp's and Mrs. Fain's 3rd grade Science classes became architects during a STEM activity. STEM is centered on education in the disciplines of science, technology, engineering, and mathematics. The students were only allowed to use marshmallows and straws to design and create a tower that would be able to stand on its own without falling. The students were very creative in their designs.

On Monday morning, the District was made aware of threatening social media postings. While these postings did not appear to be a direct threat to our school system, they were concerning. Out of an abundance of caution, we implemented safety measures and contacted law enforcement. It is our current understanding that these postings posed no threat to our students. As always, the safety and security of our students is our top priority.
