Winter is in full swing! We have had our first snow and fortunately we didn't have to miss any school or events! This past week the students in Chorus and Band did an amazing job with their performances. It is clear that they have practiced hard and worked closely with their teachers to get to the next level. With such a great Winter Concert we can only imagine what is in store for us in the Spring.
This upcoming week is very special. Our AVID team has been working diligently to prepare for the re-validation for our National Demonstration School Status! Well, this Wednesday, we will find out if our hard work paid off. Will we get the new banner? Will we get re-validated? We shall see on Wednesday afternoon! Stay tuned!
We want to say a big THANK YOU to all of the students who continue to embody our 4 simple rules of being safe, responsible, respectful and good learners. It really goes a long way and by being respectful to your teachers and other students you set yourself apart. We are grateful for those students who make it a pleasure to come to school everyday!
