Construction around CCES: The sidewalk construction in Strong City has started. There is a lot going on around CCES. No roads are currently blocked, but they have dug up quite a bit with many cones around corners, resulting in narrow streets. They’ve taken out many sidewalks which may cause pedestrians to be walking in street. Please be aware of this as you drive in the area. If your child walks to school, please discuss safe routes and safety awareness.

Good Afternoon- No speed camp over spring break. HS track will practice Wednesday, Thursday and Friday 3:00 pm. Thank you,

Good Morning- JH wrestling movie trip will be Tuesday night. We will meet at the HS at 5:00. Parents willing to drive should contact Coach Budke 620-340-7332 about driving. Thank you, Coach Budke
