Our student-powered Waste Management Committee's first-ever Gear Swap was a success! Thanks to all the families who donated reusable outdoor and sports gear, Ms. Cole, and the students who worked hard to make their vision come to life! Lots of smiles as students used credits to purchase their gently used new treasures.
Happy Homecoming, NAU! Thanks to all the football players who spent time with our students today. Good luck with the big game!
