AIMS IS DONE!
Thank you to everyone for making sure that everyone got to school on time last week for AIMS testing we only had one absence the whole week which was extremely helpful.  Added thanks to everyone who brought in some food for our after AIMS celebration last Friday. Results of the AIMS tests should be released around June so the winners of the $50 or $250 prize will find out who they are at this time.
