Early Release Day
Thursday, May 20th, is a regularly scheduled Early Release Day for Genesee Schools. Classes will dismiss at 1:25 p.m. and busses will run regular routes at that time. This is staff development and work time so students are asked to leave the building and premises immediately upon dismissal. *ALSO: Students, ALL after school arrangements need to be made before the Early Release Day. School phones will not be used to make last minute arrangements.
30th Anniversary of Mt. Saint Helens
Today is the 30th Anniversary of the eruption of Mt. St. Helen's. Do you remember where you were? Students, have your parents told you stories of where they were? Ask your teachers if they remember? Many of them were students like you and had the rest of their school year canceled because of the drifting ash. Oh yeah! Mr. Morrow had a birthday that day and got a new bike, which he didn't get to ride, again because of the ash! Happy Birthday Mr. Morrow!!
