Please stop by the school by the end of the day tomorrow to check for items belonging to your family that may be in our lost and found. All items left at the end of the day on Friday will be donated to charity over the break. Also, please make sure every item your child brings to school is labeled with his/her first and last name. This includes lunch boxes, water bottles, and all outerwear. Please use your child's full name rather than initials so we can try to return lost items to their owners. Thanks for your help!

Our School Accountability Committee (SAC) conducts a series of short parent surveys throughout the year to gather information and feedback on important school topics. This is the first of three mini-surveys they will send out this year, in addition to the larger end-of-year annual survey. At this time, they are gathering feedback on the physical safety, emotional well-being, and health of students while at school. There are only six questions, so it won't take long to complete. Thank you to everyone who has already submitted their survey. If you have not yet completed it, please do so by tomorrow, December 17. Access the survey here.

Mr. Thompson and Mr. Minshall were good sports when they visited the Middle School Special Effects Makeup elective on Wednesday. They let the students practice their skills by creating bruises, scars, and wounds on them. The students did an amazing job, and their work looked very realistic. Thank you, Mr. Thompson and Mr. Minshall!
