As much as I do not want to I’m going to have to cancel today. The other three schools and the CTC have already canceled which means our CTC kids would be out anyway. Most of our roads are in good shape but the hills are slick in spots. Even my biggest supporters would think I’m an idiot if we are the only school in the county to go and there was an accident with a bus or a student driver. If you think I’m nuts for canceling then you have a good argument but I’m not willing to be the only want to go to school in the county and risk an accident because some of the roads are definitely slick in spots. With that being said Western will be out today. 

Two hour delay for Western this morning. Roads are bad and I don’t anticipate having to close but the radar shows that it is going to keep snowing for a while so more than anything just want to make sure we don’t hit something really hard coming down while buses are out and a delay should take care of that problem.

High School Winter Sports Banquet will be- Tuesday, March 12th at 6:30pm in the high school cafeteria.

The Heart for Art field trio for students in k-6th has been cancelled for tomorrow. Reschedule date is March 22nd.
