Today is the official start of summer!, also known as the Summer Solstice! June 20th is 'longest day' of the year. This means today's date has the most sunlight hours in it. Although Summer Rec began a few weeks ago, we encourage families to look online for additional opportunities! https://isd740.ce.eleyo.com/courses/category/63/summer-recreation
Summer is the perfect time to get your student's well child exam! Not only can this annual help your child feel more comfortable in the doctor's office, you can also request a Sport Physical at the same time! Athletes in grades 7-12 need a current physical on file to compete on our teams, and since physicals expire after three years, we recommend getting a Sport Physical for students going into grades 7 and 10. Please drop off physicals in the HS Office or email copies to Holly or Mr. Ruoff at: hberscheit@isd740.org or jruoff@isd740.org

Today is Flag Day, a USA holiday, commemorating the adoption of the flag of the United States on June 14, 1777 by resolution of the Second Continental Congress. Here are three pieces of flag etiquette. 1) Never let the flag touch anything beneath it: ground, floor, water, or merchandise. 2) Carry the flag horizontally, but always aloft. Fasten or display the flag in a way that will prevent damage. 3) Never place anything on the flag, including letters, insignia, or designs of any kind.
