Community Update: HB 1237 – Mascot Bill Good morning, HB 1237 passed out of committee this morning along party lines. A new amendment filed yesterday would extend the bill’s effective date to July 1, 2026. However, the bill’s sponsor declined to include a provision that would allow schools using "banned" mascots to partner with a federally recognized tribe and, with that tribe’s consent, continue using the mascot and logo. The bill now moves to the House floor for a full vote. The opportunity to submit witness slips has closed. If you haven’t already done so, I strongly encourage you to contact your Representative and let them know your opinion regarding the "mascot" bill. If the bill passes the House this week, it will advance to the Senate for further consideration. At this point, it’s unclear whether there is interest in moving the bill in that chamber. We expect to learn more once the Senate returns from break on Tuesday, April 29. Thank you for staying engaged. Please continue to make your voices heard.

Good morning! Reminder- we have 1:55 dismissal today, April 9th. Also, make sure you are reading The Lemonade War each night with your student. Teachers will discuss the readings each day in class and we will continue our school-wide lemonade war! Have a great day!

Parents please check your child's bags tonight. We are embarking on a special project as an all school activity. There will be a letter explaining this new adventure and we hope you have fun and enjoy our special project for the month of April!
