School is closed on 

Monday, May 29, 2023, in observance of Memorial Day.

Memorial Day is a national holiday to mourn and recognize America’s veterans who have died while serving in the United States armed forces. The day is observed on the last Monday of May and is marked with parades, services, a moment of silence, or visits to cemeteries and memorials. It is a day when we remember and honor all those who died in wars.  Please take a moment on this day to pay tribute to our fallen heroes.
