Memorial Day (originally known as Decoration Day) is a federal holiday in the United States for honoring and mourning all United States military personnel who died while serving in the United States Armed Forces. Historical facts…
• Established in 1868 as Decoration Day by the Grand Army of the Republic as a time for the nation to decorate the graves of the war dead.
• A crowd of about 5,000 people attended the first large celebration at Arlington National Cemetery in 1868.

A little closer...
Let's give a warm Tiger welcome to preschool teacher, Mrs. Abel!
Good morning, Tigers! We hope everybody remained safe and minimal damage was had from the storms last night.
We ask that if you are attending the 8th Grade Promotion, that you park at the high school. And if you are attending the softball game, parking can be found at the middle school. Thank you for your cooperation in this matter.
(Can you believe there is only TWO days left?!)
Still counting down...
UPDATE: Due to the chances of Tornados 8th grade promotion will be postponed to tomorrow May 20th at 7pm at the High School. We apologize for the change of plans after a message was sent out stating it would go on as normal. Again no promotion tonight it will be Tuesday May 20th.
Stay safe tonight, Tigers!
Due to the weather forecast for rain in the middle of the day and severe storm chances increasing at 4pm throughout the evening, tonight's softball games have been postponed. The Monday & Tuesday schedule will now be a Tuesday & Wednesday schedule.
Let's give a huge Tiger welcome to our preschool director, Brie Williams!
Counting down....
