Let it snow! Let it snow! Let it snow! Whoever sang this song or turned their pj's inside out or did the "snow dance" OR did all 3, sure did do a good job. It was beautiful and fun to play in for those young and those who thought they were young. Lots of snowmen and sledding took place.It was also dangerous for those who had to drive in it. I know the students, faculty and we bus drivers are excited to be back in school!!! If you believe this, I have some ocean front property I would like to sell you!

It's great news to know that Robert Fletcher is home recuperating from a recent fall which resulted in some cuts to his head and a short hospital stay.

Glory B! Marvin Davenport is sporting a new John Deere tractor - at least it's new to him. Now he doesn't need a bucket tied under his tractor to catch the oil so he can put it back in!! When you see him, check and see if Ruth is riding with him.

Auburn School is hosting a Red Cross blood drive on Tuesday, March 22, 2016 from 1:00 p.m. until 6:00 p.m. If interested in being a donor, contact Cindy Larson at 464-4342 or cindy.larson@ccstn.net as soon as possible for an appointment. The Red Cross people are coming soon and she needs as many appointments are possible. We are hoping for a big turnout for this first time event. Each donation could save up to three lives!
