May 23 - If it feels like there is a lot going on, that's becasue there is

 

We almost outnumbered the students at Prom. We definitely out dressed them! Thank you Prom chaperones and organizers! This was another successful, positive and safe event for our students.

Hi all, first, I hope you have a fun, relaxing, and enjoyable 3 day weekend. Thank you to everyone who continues to step in to help with all the many, many end of the year activities, events, games, projects, rights of passage, etc. There is a tremendous amount of energy and patience required from you at this time of year and I very much appreciate how you always manage to find balance and help your students to cross the finish line with grace. We have less than 3 weeks of classes to go. Hang in there, keep up the hard work, and enjoy the ride as much as possible.
