Pep Rally:

We will have a pep rally Thursday, October 10! School will run on the assembly schedule, so afternoon classes will be shortened.

A form was sent home on Monday so that students can indicate their intention for the parade on Friday, October 11. These forms are due Friday, October 4.  Once all students have arrived back to school, we will continue through the remaining periods.
