Thank you Paris Rotary Club for doing this every year for our students!
Families,
Due to our need for 2 snow days in January please see below our updated calendar. We will now attend school on both Easter Monday and the Friday before Spring Break. These days off were built into our calendar to be used as snow days. Hopefully we will be free of snow for the rest of winter.
In Christ,
Michelle O'Neal
