Weekly Summary
This past week we watched our leadership classes get underway and in full swing. The quarter system is a challenge for many classes, and leadership in particular! Now that quarter two has begun with both junior and senior leadership classes meeting, events are underway and energy is bubbling in the leadership room! Juggling multiple lunches and planning events is a challenge for the leadership students and Ms Liversidge, the leadership teacher, but we are excited to see events unfold in December and beyond! See the upcoming events below to see some of the things that our leadership classes will be organizing and up to below!!
Quarter 2 has seen the return of music with both our elementary band and Jr. & Sr. Band back. Students are spaced apart in the music room and have special filters on many instruments to allow a safe environment for music. Seeing students make and enjoy music is so wonderful and represents one of the many things that make school such a great place for kids.
This past week also saw the launch of a Grab n’ Go Breakfast program on Tuesdays & Thursdays. Each day 50-75 students were able to pick up a brown bag with a bagel and cream cheese, granola bar, a piece of fruit, a cheese string and a yogurt. This program is open to any student and is provided on a first-come first-serve basis. The Grab n’ Go bags are prepared by teachers who want to ensure kids start their day ready to be active learners.
On Friday, Wildcat Corner, our new school store, was opened as a Pop Up Shop selling school gear. The official opening is coming soon with some great new school clothes for students & families to purchase. More information will be coming soon!!
