A Short but Exciting Week
Even though we had to go virtual for Thursday and Friday, we still had an awesome Writers' Night on Wednesday evening and our week ended strong with another awesome Homecoming planned by our Student Committee. Shout out to Morgan, Jess, Sophia, Dylan, and Trevor for setting up for hours on Thursday and Friday.
Project Update
As everyone knows, we decided to go virtual for Thursday and Friday of last week, while we addressed a water leak. The area is sealed off and remediation is underway, so school can go back to normal on Monday, October 31st.
Costumes
Maybe we won't be entirely back to normal on Monday as students and staff are encouraged to dress up in their costumes, however, you may not wear any masks that cover your face or face paint. There is also a trick or treat fundraiser happening during lunch sponsored by the Mindset Matters Mentorship program.
What do you all do here anyway?
Now that Mrs. Combs is back to school and settled into her new School Director Role, we wanted to clarify who you can go to for various concerns and questions. As always, you can still ask Ms. Travis to point you in the right direction.
