Holiday Break

On behalf of our staff I would like to express our appreciation and pride to each of our students and parents. We have enjoyed an amazing fall semester as we have watched our students as they represented our school and community in all their various activities.

Most recently our fine arts department performed the musical White Christmas. Unbelievable talent, performances and leadership by all who were involved resulted in the best student play I have ever watched. Super Job ! Please take the opportunity to express your appreciation to all who played a part in making this a huge success.

As we begin our break our students are in the middle of athletic seasons in basketball, wrestling, and swimming. Soccer, baseball, softball, golf, tennis, track and lacrosse will be around the corner not to mention our ACADEMIC TEAM Competitions. If you are not involved it is not too late. I always hope I have not forgotten any group.

Some academic reminders:

• Semester Finals and the end of the first semester will be the week of Jan. 11th
• Our Board voted to change how we report class rank which will provide more opportunities for all our students to be considered more holistically as the apply to college.
• Spring registration will be around the corner and we will begin the process in March. Look for some new courses to be added.

Lastly, please enjoy the Holiday Break as you celebrate and take time to appreciate your family and the blessings we each enjoy. See you in 2010 !
