Breakfast with Books was a wonderful success at Pullman Elementary! We loved seeing so many families join us this morning to spend time reading with our students. Thank you to everyone who came out to support our young readers and help make the event such a special start to the day!
A BIG congratulations go out to our 7th/8th grade band and our high school band today!
The bands traveled to Coloma to participate in the annual MSBOA Band Festival, where they performed music for a panel of judges to receive a rating. Both bands did a phenomenal job and walked away with fantastic results!
The 7th/8th grade band received a division 2 rating, and the high school group earned a division 1!
Congratulations to the bands and to Mr. Arking for their hard work!
