Elem/JH: There will no longer be nachos, mac & cheese or spaghetti lunches for the rest of year.

ALL: the sophomore class will be hosting this year's talent show, which will occur sometime during spring fever week (April 15-19). All students and teachers/staff are welcome to participate. The winner will receive a trophy. More information is available on the sign-up sheet in the office.

ALL: The frozen food vending machine has regularly been breaking down and unfortunately has not been selling enough volume for the vendor to justify replacing it.  However, the Spirit Store will continue to have food available for sale.

Parents: Mr. Joy would like to meet prospective international homestay parents for the 2013-14 school year.  Typically one international student is placed with one family for an entire school year. Families would need an additional room, an FBI LiveScan, and a desire to learn about a different culture while sharing their own.  Please contact Mr. Joy if your family is interested in learning more.
