Greetings Rattler Families,
The Art Department will be hosting a Winter Art Show Potluck in the Den on Thursday, December 11th, 2025 from 4:30 to 6:30 pm. Come eat, share some food, and view some amazing student artwork! You may drop off food with Ms. Cook or in the front office during that week if you are participating in the potluck portion.
