Note from Mr. Fedders:
Good afternoon!
The winter weather finally caught up to us this week – I was hoping it would stay away another month or two! The vast majority of our students did a great job remembering to bring their winter gear; please continue to send this as long as snow remains on the ground. If you need help getting access to snow pants or boots, please let me know, as we have a few resources available to support us.
When we have two-hour delays, everything is pushed back two hours in our morning routine. Supervision of students in front of the school begins at 9:30, students can enter the building at 9:45, and the tardy bell rings at 10:10. No breakfast will be served on these days.
The After Prom Committee is Fundraising with Pampered Chef. All funds raised help us provide the kids a fun, safe event after the dance. Ordering opens Monday 1/15. All orders ship directly to you, and all orders are due Jan 29th. Help us out & shop for yourself or a gift for someone else. Thanks for checking it out! https://www.pamperedchef.com/party/afterprom0115
