Be sure to start the new year off right by buying a ticket and giving yourself a chance to win the progressive Queen of Hearts Jackpot. Be sure to get your ticket in the drawing before the draw on Monday. You're guaranteed not to win if you don't have a ticket in the drawing.

Be sure to get your ticket before Monday's draw. It would make it an even better holiday to have your ticket drawn. You can't have a chance if you don't purchase a ticket and get it in!

Thank you to everyone who came out and supported our Elementary Christmas Program recently. A special thank you goes out to the Ashley P.T.O. and all of their efforts behind the scenes. These wonderful people were responsible for decorating, hot cocoa and cookies, and most importantly making sure my brother was able to come out and visit. If you have pictures that you would like to share please feel free to do so. The next Ashley P.T.O. meeting will be Tuesday January 6th, 2026 at 6 p.m. They will be busy making plans for March is Reading Month and the widely successful Elementary P.T.O. carnival. - Mr. C.









Be sure to purchase your tickets and get them in bin before we draw Monday night. Chances of winning without a ticket in the drawing are zero percent. At least if you have a ticket in the drawing you have a chance of winning. Be sure to purchase your ticket!
