GT Student Luncheon 

The World is Yours: Turning Dreams Into Realty

This week we only have four days of school. On Monday, January 29, 2018, the staff will be in Professional Development sessions. Our staff will be learning more about mindfulness, working on the the School Improvement Plan, or writing their curriculum. We take Professional Development very serious and the staff accomplishes so much to improve our school!

Last week our 8th graders were treated to a a Glow Dance. According to Mr. Hudson, "On Friday, we created an amazing experience for our students with the "Glow Dance." Our students had a great time and were all smiles. For two hours, the dance floor was full of glowing students, the tables we set up were barely used, and the gym was full of excitement. A big shout out to everyone who helped make this event possible." He went on the thank the 30 staff members who helped make the event a success.  Congratulations to the 8th grade students and their staff for putting this together.
