We want our children involved in soccer games and little League and volleyball and drill teams hoping they will develop a talent for teamwork.

With this new lab, students who have foiled a basic course can make up the course at their own rats. Currently it is open to students every day after school for two hours.

"For years we had been discouraged, along with many students and parents, when a student got behind in their schooling we were unable to help them catch up." The Computer Learning Lab is a new concept that is only available in very few places in the country. "We are excited about the potential of this new educational tool, and we appreciate Mr. Harwood and the Tribe for sharing this material with us," stated Principal Burton.
