Fun was had across campus today to celebrate the last day before break! Crafts, games, gingerbread houses, dodgeball, a high school pep rally, bowling, and so much more. We hope everyone has a safe and enjoyable break and will see you in the new year! #BeABlackKnight

This week was all about giving! We concluded our Toys for Tots collection organized by Deputy Crouch. Over in the elementary, Mrs. Swaney's class has been gathering donations for Chopin Hall while Mrs. Lafountain's class has been gathering donations for the Humane Society. In the high school, our Chick-fil-A Leader Academy gathered over 80 items for City Mission. Way to go, Black Knights! #BeABlackKnight
