It's a Q and U wedding party in Kindergarten! This was a special ceremony because q and u are always together in words. Students took part as the q(bride) and u(groom), as well as the groomsmen and bridesmaids and Principal Steffen was our officiant! They also had a reception after the wedding! Thanks to our creative Kindergarten staff, q and u will hopefully be remembered together forever!

A $1,000 scholarship for each student was the prize as Sophomores Izabella Shauman, Paxton Benge, Charlotte Snow and Bryson Sprouse won the marketing pitch competition for C&W Services' Shark Tank event. In addition, they will have a trophy belt in our trophy case! The students presented their ideas to a panel of 6 judges, placing above two other schools. They presented well and rocked the Q&A portion of the event. We are very proud! Congratulations, students! Thank you to C&W Services for hosting this event!

What is the FAFSA? Colleges and career/trade schools use the FAFSA form to determine how much financial aid you're eligible to receive, which could include grants, scholarships, work-study funds, and loans. (That's right, the FAFSA could lead to grants and scholarships - which are free monies!)
