Breakfast snacks are available daily in the high school cafeteria. You can charge items to your lunch account or you may pay with cash. We are open to the students in between morning class periods, but if you would like to come and grab something you may at any time during the morning.  We have fresh fruit, yogurt parfaits, juice, water bottles, granola bars, pop tarts, etc. We also have Jimmy Dean breakfast sandwiches, on request. Eventually we plan to have some warmer items also, like fresh cinnamon rolls and breakfast sandwiches. 

Need a quiet place to study? No wi-fi at home? Need help with your homework? Come to Study Tables! Open to all middle school students, Wednesdays after school from 3:05-4:00 starting November 20 in Mrs. Sines's classroom (room 306).
