The last Town Hall meeting concerning a 4 day school week will be held this evening at 7:00 PM in Altoona at the Fire House. Please try to attend. Your input is needed for this important decision to be made by the Board of Education.
At Reality U, sophomores and 8th graders quickly learned that budgeting for a family while maintaining a house and paying for insurance and other bills is a much more difficult task than first imagined. Students left RealityU with not only a better understanding of finances and budgeting, but a much greater appreciation for the things they’ve been given from their own parents and guardians.
Due to a water leak in the area, there will be no MS/HS after school grant activities today, 03/01/23.
