Our 2nd grade students presented their annual Veterans Day program yesterday. Their performance reminded us all of the importance of honoring those who serve our country. Thank you, veterans! 🇺🇸❤️

Just a reminder, there is NO SCHOOL tomorrow, November 11, in observance of Veteran's Day.

The Peoria Riverfront Museum is organizing 7 American 250 themed exhibitions, which includes the 1776 Declaration of Independence, the 1789 U.S. Constitution, the Emancipation Proclamation, and MLK's "I Have A Dream" speech.

There is a correction to the informational post about the truth in taxation hearing. The hearing will be at the regular school board meeting on November 18, 2025 in the annex at the pre-k building. The original post erroneously stated the hearing would be November 19. Please note the change of date. Thank you!
