Spirit Week

Principals Corner
Our Gym night last night was a success. Remember that this is a reward for good academic performance. It will be held
every 2 or 3 weeks this winter on Wednesday and a one-call will be sent out.
To all that use the CLE facility, this is a reminder that when your activity has ended be sure lights in the restrooms are off
and ball storage facility lights are off. Please make sure everything is locked and secure. Thank You.
Parents we appreciate the keeping of your financial agreements. If you are having difficulties please make an appointment
to meet with the Principal after school.
