December's shorter days mean later sunrises and earlier sunsets. Thankfully, we have Avail Toilets to help our staff maintain their regular schedule and keep us going during these last days of 2023. We want to thank them and all of our Monthly Coffee Sponsors for their support.
Students from the Junior High Art Club and the Seventh Grade Art Classes designed and painted Christmas Card Boards that went on display at the LaGrange County Courthouse this past weekend. The cards, along with others made by other schools and artists in LaGrange County, will be up through Christmas for the community to enjoy. Pictured along with the cards are the students who worked on each card.
