Our School Family Needs Your Prayers Last night's tornado had a devastating impact on our school community. We're heartbroken to share that Superintendent Scott Blake, his family, including our librarian, Lynn Blake, and their children (who are also our students) lost their home. We're grateful that the Blake family is safe, but we know the road to recovery will be long and challenging. We ask that you join us in praying for the Blake family during this difficult time. Please lift them up as they navigate this crisis. Your thoughts, prayers, and support mean the world to us. We're exploring ways to provide additional support to the Blake family, including a potential fundraiser. We'll keep you updated on any developments. Thank you for being an amazing school community!
