Our secondary students in the Gifted and Talented Program toured the Museum of Illusions in Denver today, experiencing very cool scenes and challenging their minds to think abstractly.

Our internet and phones are back up and working.

Good morning-our internet is down; therefore, our phone system is also down as it is internet based. We will repost when things are back up and running.
