Congratulations to Mrs. Burrell for being selected as the American Legion Teacher of the Year. Each year Mrs. Burrell puts together a Veteran’s Day program that honors our Veterans. Through her acknowledgement students have learned the true meaning of Veteran’s Day. We have taken the time as a Middle School to honor those who have given so much to allow us the freedoms we enjoy.  The American Legion will hold a special recognition dinner for her in June. Thank you Mrs. Burrell for teaching us about patriotism!
 
 
We cannot always build the future for our youth, but we can build our youth for the future.
