It is a somber day as we lay to rest Rhonda. For those of you not able to attend the service, it will be live-streamed. Click on the following link to watch.

Our first all call went out last night and we had some feedback on the origination of the call. The call looks like it comes from an Arkansas phone number. This is because Apptegy is based out of Arkansas. We are currently checking to see if we can get calls to originate from our school number. We also have a text feature through Apptegy. If you receive a text from 98900, that is from the school.
The words are difficult to come by right now…but our beloved Rhonda has passed. We are all deeply saddened by this loss. She will be missed dearly by all of us at school.
The funeral will take place on Thursday, September 29 at 10 AM in the school gymnasium. We will not be having school that day so that anyone who wants to attend the funeral may do so.
Rest In Peace, Rhonda. We thank God for giving you to us and allowing us to be a part of your life. We all love you very much!
