December 15 - So Close

 

There are lots of fun Winter Scapes in the hallway, check them out! 

This image reminds me of the view from the back of Black Diamond BBQ. Looking forward to seeing you all there tomorrow after school. Let's all join together and celebrate the great things happening here....and leave the other stuff behind for one afternoon. You deserve a good time.

Updates/Reminders: 

Next Week's Outfits

12/18 - Egress/Fire Drill (previously scheduled for Monday 12/11)- We learned from our most recent emergency drill, that it's likely there will not be enough space in the field/plowed area behind the cafe next Monday morning for all students to fit at once. Thus, line up in the parking lot by the cafe and garage out back. Our crisis team will be evaluating the situation and taking notes. We will consider changes to our spacing at our January meeting. Please send us your feedback about the drills.
