Aggie Weekly-October 4th

Good Afternoon Students, Parents, and Community Members:

This week we had an adventure with our construction project that led to an early dismissal yesterday. When relocating a utility pole, the water main was hit that led to us shutting off the water until it was repaired. Our construction crew on site along with the Dighton Water department acted quickly to ensure we were back and running for today.
