For our students who missed fall pictures, make up pictures are taking place on Friday, December 12th. Please make sure you get your photo taken if you haven’t done so already!
I also wanted to share news that I know is impacting our school community. This weekend, Mrs. Louise Beirne, our Middle School science teacher, passed away after a long hard fight with cancer. We know how hard this is for our students, families, and staff, and I wanted to make sure you all know that there will be resources available tomorrow for those who need someone to talk to. Please make sure you give your special people a little extra love in honor of Mrs. Beirne.
Thank you and good night.
