Question:  Will there be cuts in non-educational programs such as the sport programs to help keep a quality education for our children?  I know the Booster Club is active and generates much revenue for the programs, and that the parents pay fees for their children to play sports, does this cover the entire sports budget?  If not how much does the District pay to keep these programs and could some of it be better used to help keep education programs?

Answer:  Lower level programs are being looked at as places to reduce costs.  The booster clubs do an excellent job of raising funds, but their efforts do not cover the entire cost of our Musical, Drama, or athletic programs.

Mrs. Clevenger’s third graders had fun exploding volcanoes on February 9^th. They spent time researching volcanoes, writing reports, and giving presentations. On the final day they built volcanoes out of play-doh and erupted them with a mixture of baking soda and vinegar. Every year third graders read a story about Mt. Vesuvius and the lost city of Pompeii.
