Giving Hearts a Helping Hand

Students at Prairie Creek Elementary School and Spring Hill Elementary School raised nearly $5,000 for the American Heart Association. The money raised will help pay for research to discover new medicines and treatments. In addition, students learned how to keep their own hearts healthy by being active.  At Prairie Creek Elementary, fourth and fifth graders participated in the Hoops for Heart campaign, which netted an amazing $1,877 to combat heart disease.

New Immunizations Required

Beginning with the 09-10 school year, new requirements have been put into place regarding immunizations for students. For more information, please visit our immunizations resource page.
