Good morning Lil Cyclone families! Due to all district activities for the evening being cancelled, we are also cancelling our after school clubs this afternoon. If your child attends the Kindness or Drama club on Mondays, they will need to go home at regular dismissal time today. We will send those students home their regular way unless you call and tell us differently. Thank you!

We are finishing up our school-wide service project. Our goal is to collect 100 items to be donated to the Russellville Animal Shelter. Donations could include: toys for a dog or cat, dog or cat food, collars, leashes, litter box supplies, etc.
Please have your donations in by tomorrow!


Our next Papa John's Pizza Night is February 1 from 4:00-8:00. Please make plans to order pizza and help support our Dwight PTO! #smallschoolbigheart
