Supt. Janzen spoke at COMCON last night. The Nov. bond issue is $37 million to build a new primary building attached to the elementary and retire the existing primary. The cost to the average homeowner is about 7.5 gallons of gas, just a little more than a 5-gallon bucket.

🎉 Exciting news from SBL Schools! 🎉

The East Campus project is nearing completion. Weather permitting, substantial completion will occur in a couple weeks. Until then, the site remains a construction zone and we ask for your help in staying off the site for liability purposes.
The first home tennis match will be August 25.
Seeding will be done last. We will ask for everyone's cooperation and stay off all the dirt so grass can grow.
