💛 **Supporting Baby Ophelia & the Olson Family** 💛 Our school community is heartbroken to share that Mrs. Morgan Olson, one of our beloved teachers, recently received the devastating news that her newborn daughter, Ophelia, has been diagnosed with an atypical teratoid rhabdoid tumor (ATRT)— a rare and aggressive cancer affecting the central nervous system. Ophelia and the Olson family have a long and difficult journey ahead of them. In a show of love and support, students and staff will be wearing gold ribbons this Friday to honor Ophelia and raise awareness for pediatric cancer. 💛 We are also collecting donations to help support the Olson family during this incredibly challenging time. Every gift — big or small — will help ease the burden and show the Olsons they’re not alone. Donations will be collected on Friday. ✨ Let’s come together as a community to lift up one of our own with love, strength, and support. Please keep Morgan, baby Ophelia, and their entire family in your thoughts and prayers.



Yearbooks are still on sale! We only have about 70 left, so order yours today! They will be here the last week of school!
