Quote of the Week: "Beginnings are usually
scary and endings are usually sad, but it's the
middle that counts. You have to remember this when
you find yourself at the beginning." ~ Sandra Bullock
The beginning of the school year
is off to a great start! Thank you for your
support as we all get back into the swing of
things. Good luck to all the fall athletes as
their seasons begin. Come out and support the
Spartans!
There was a delay in sending out this eNews
due to power problems experienced in the building
yesterday. In the future we
will continue to send the eNews out on
Thursdays.

help students with the adjustment to a new school
setting. II: Ongoing Support Groups: these
groups are intended for children who are dealing
with difficult situations in their lives such as
divorce, family conflict, illness,... They are
also intended for students who would like to work
on personal issues such as depression, anxiety,
self-esteem, social isolation..... Mrs. Rupp
will lead this group, which meets once a week
throughout the school year. III: Grief Group :
