High School Students and Families,
I hope you all had a great weekend! It’s hard to believe that this is our last week of classes! We are almost halfway through this school year.
This week, we have a special student and staff spirit week to help us usher in the holidays. We have theme days scheduled so you may see us in pajamas or crazy holiday wear throughout the week! I just wanted to warn you!!
