Vaccines are safe and effective in protecting children against a variety of potentially dangerous infectious diseases. The Alabama Chapter-American Academy of Pediatrics (AL-AAP) and the Alabama Department of Public Health encourage parents to keep their children and teens healthy by ensuring they receive vaccines according to the recommended schedule. Vaccines are important as they help children's immune systems fight infections. - Attendance! We need our students at school to learn and to comply with the state's attendance law.

Greetings Bulls,
There are so many community members that provide additional opportunities beyond the school day for our children to participate in. These extra-curricular activities are where so many life lessons are learned, that simply can't be taught in the classroom. Please take a moment to thank our coaches and club sponsors with me. We are about to wrap up basketball (Thank you Coach Williams, Coach Bellomy, Coach Costa, and Coach Owings) and move into track and soccer (Thank you in advance Coach Putzier, Coach Costa, Coach Owings, Coach Redpath, and Coach Gregory). We cannot forget our club sponsors as well (Thanks Ms. Linker, Ms. Stephens, Ms. Snider, Mr. Johnson, Ms. Sebghati, Ms. Wilson, Ms. Augustin, Mr. Whitaker). The time and effort you all devote truly shapes our students. We all owe you a debt of gratitude.
Natalie Smith
Go Bulls!
