Last Friday was part of the Homecoming Spirit week and we had a sports focused theme day where staff and students wore their favorite sport team outfits. Who is your favorite team? Go Hornets! 🐝💚💛

Jeff Morgan, our Maintenance Supervisor, retired last week on Friday. We had a going-away party for him where he was presented with a Certificate of Retirement by the school board members Ken Jones and Gary Farmer. His wife and son attended and we all share cake and and said our farewells.

Jeff did an outstanding job whipping our camups into shape and addressing all the maintenance issues as they occurred. Whenever someone asked how he was, Jeff would reply with a smile and say, "I can't complain!" Jeff, we will miss you, enjoy your retirement!

Yesterday's theme was Green & Gold day and students and staff dressed in their school colors to celebrate school pride!🐝💚💛

Yesterday we had a pep rally💚💛 before the basketball game🏀 ENCSD vs VSDB. Also, the homecoming King and Queen were revealed!

Today was the second day of Spirit week and the theme was Monochrome. Elementary group wore blue💙, the middle school wore red❤️, the high school wore purple💜 and the staff wore pink🩷. Everyone looked so colorful today!

The first day of our Homecoming Spirit Week is a Wacky Tacky themed day. It looks like students and staff dressed in what they would normally wear on a day off! 🥸🤡

What Is Dragon Fruit and Does It Have Health Benefits?

Dragon fruit is a tropical fruit that’s low in calories and high in fiber and antioxidants. Some people say it tastes like a cross between a pear and a kiwi. You can slice and eat the fruit as-is, try it with yogurt, or add it to a smoothie or salad.

Dragon fruit is a tropical fruit that has become increasingly popular in recent years.

Though people primarily enjoy it for its unique look and taste, evidence suggests it may provide health benefits as well.

The Deaf Awareness Committee made this video, Hands of Thanks, to express our gratitude.

Health Benefits of Artichokes

Artichokes are green vegetables native to the Mediterranean region and are often a key feature in Mediterranean cuisine. They may seem intimidating to prepare but require simple steaming and offer many health benefits. They are particularly high in protein and fiber.
