Old Fort Local School District

The kindergarteners listened to a silly story about a funny bug in the library with Mrs. Adelsperger and then got creative with Play Doh to make their own bugs. 🐛

Join us on September 13th as the Old Fort and Hopewell-Loudon bands pay tribute to first responders!

Just a reminder - There is no school on Monday, September 2nd for Labor Day.
