Are you ready for some winter fun!?

Freezin for a Reason

Get your skiis sharpened, your sleds waxed, your armor polished, the throat cleared (for your wolf howl) and your gloves ready (for sculpture making), and your hearts pumping for the return of Winter Carnival. Lots of students and staff have been working hard to improve and increase participation in Winter Carnival. We are gaining momentum on how to connect this activity with our schoolwide culture growth. Thus, let's all bring lots of positive vibes to the event and take mental notes of what  works and how to do even better next year.

Also, have a great final week before break and please do you best to rest, enjoy and celebrate winter during your break. Thanks for your hard work and wisdom.
