Your hard work, talent, and dedication continue to make our school proud. Way to go, Blackhawks! 🖤💛

Our staff showed their spirit during Kindness Week by dressing up for Twin Day—because spreading kindness is even better when you do it together! From matching outfits to big smiles, this was a great reminder that small acts of kindness make a big difference.

The CTEC Open House has been rescheduled to Wednesday, February 4, 2026 due to today’s school closure. The event will be held from 5–7 PM, with a presentation from the CTEC Principal at 5:30 PM. We hope to see you there!

Friday night activities will continue as scheduled.


FTB raised $770 this year through the La Pulsera Project—thank you to everyone who supported these artisans and their education!
By “coloring the world,” our community purchased over 150 pulseras, allowing us to send a $770 check directly to the Pulsera Project.
We are proud of our students and community for making a meaningful impact! 🖤💛

Our 7th grade agriscience classes had an exciting hands-on learning experience today with a very special visitor — a live dairy cow! Students learned all about the milking process, dairy production, and the science behind where our food comes from.
We love giving our Blackhawks real-world learning opportunities!
