We will send home an information letter next week and look forward to meeting with you on Tuesday, February 27, at 7:00pm in Fellowship Hall of Janesville Campus.  We will be discussing several events leading up to the end of the school year.  See you there!




6-8th Grade Peanut Butter/Jelly Challenge
Did you know that it takes 540 peanuts to make one 12-ounce jar of peanut butter? Thankfully we don't need to crush peanuts on our own AND we are blessed to be able to buy a jar whenever we want to.  Unfortunately, not everyone is able to do the same which is why we need YOUR help in the 6th-8th Grade Peanut Butter and Jelly drive going on until February 28.  Ask your friends and neighbors to contribute a jar or two, or donate money towards our goal of collecting 1800 lbs of pb&j!  All donations go towards Feeding America which supplies food to local food pantries.

Thank you!
We want to thank all the parents who contributed and volunteered to help with our 6th-8th Grade Valentine Party!  Our generous and involved parents continue to make our family of schools a great place!
