I hope everyone had a wonderful Thanksgiving and holiday break. Thank you all of the generous parents who volunteered at our Book Fair in our library this week and at our student store on Wednesday.

There are only two short weeks left in the semester before we are off again for winter break. I hope everyone is able to stay healthy during that time. If your student is sick, please contact the attendance office and have your student email their teachers and access their work on Google Classroom.

Be well,

Catherine Nicholas, Ed.D.

Sales for dance tickets are now closed. We are excited about A Snowy Night Kinda Formal Dance next week, Friday, December 9th. The dance is 5-7 pm. There will not be a place for students to wait on campus between school and the dance. Please plan to drop them off and pick them up at the correct times. We do not have enough staff to find your student and release them early; students will all be released at 7:00.

As Kindness month comes to an end, I just want to share some pictures (attached) of our wonderful students enjoying the Wellness Center Activities. Even though Kindness month is over, the main message behind this month was to make kindness the norm, and to "Be the I in Kind"

In case you missed the Be the I in Kind Video picture slideshow, here is the link :-)
