Twas the night before school starts and all through Eagle Nation
The kids were at the end of their summer vacation
Their clothes were laid out just ready to be worn
And their backpacks were zipped up and stuffed for the morn
The hallways were gleaming, shined up to a sheen
So much work was done to get them so clean
Crews worked all through the summer in the heat and the sweat
They deserve much more credit and thanks than they get
All the roads they were paved, some new walkways were poured
You like pickleball or basketball, we now have new courts
Mr Zoph walks the hallways, all up and down each
Tomorrow students will learn, and teachers will teach
The kids might be sad for the end of their break
But they also look forward, to see friends when they wake
The teachers and staff will soon all be there
Ready to help out the Eaglets that are put in their care
They finished their trainings, the curricula are in place
Safety measures are practiced and reviewed just in case
As we round out this poem the original’s so long
We welcome Eagle Nation. Let’s start the years strong
Go Eagles! Go Eagles!
Welcome back for the year
Let’s make this year special
Start strong and in high gear
We’re so glad to see you
All treats and no tricks
Let your inner light shine through
All of ‘25 and ‘26

Tomorrow Friday August 15th and Saturday August 16th. The entire campus will have a paint crew here to add the parking lot lines, crosswalk lines, bumper barriers, ect. There will be many crews working in many different parts of the campus at one time.
Please be mindful of where they are working and if at all possible avoid being on campus those days.
Attached is a map showing the only areas of campus not affected by the paint. Highlighted yellow is where you are able to park those days if you must be on campus.
The VAST MAJORITY of the roads & parking lots will be getting painted.
The more the paint crew is able to be undisturbed the faster and more efficiently it will be completed.
Thank you.
