I hope you have been able to make the most out of all the snow we have had in our forecast lately! Stay safe, keep warm, and have fun! In spirit of Winter Carnival, I invite you to join us in celebrating with enthusiasm and participation! This school dance is on Thursday, February 8th, from 7:30pm – 9:30pm and is a red carpet masquerade theme!
If you are interested in attending the dance, please interact with the Reach Dance request as this is how you will sign-in and out of the dance. All students have a Reach account and can be accessed on both a phone and computer. I will send you all the dance invite through Reach following this email.
