Next week is our Spring Spirit Week and we’re changing up the traditional "Battle of the Classes"! As a school, if we collectively earn a total of 1600 points by the afternoon of Happy Day, we will have a staff and student ice cream truck treat during lunch one day after spring break. Let's show our school spirit and win that ice cream truck!
Reminder: Middle School Counseling Workshops are underway. This Thursday, March 21st students can attend (no sign up required) during ASL to learn coping skills they can use in class to help with feelings of being overwhelmed, frustrated or stressed.

Thank you to Tim Shoemaker for his time this morning presenting to our freshmen class. We thank our students for their respect and engagement throughout. To quote Mr. Shoemaker, "the best presentation is the one you can find your story in" and we hope students were able to connect it to their story and lives. Remember to ask yourself, are you better today than you were yesterday?
Parents of middle and high school students, this evening Tim will present at 6:30pm in the Westwood Regional High School, Hurley Theater. Please view this teaser video: https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=HJkV6t0Qh0M
