Our Thanksgiving Feast will be next week. Be sure to complete the form that was sent out this week so you can put what you'll be bringing so we make sure we have enough for everyone.

As a reminder, school starts at 7:40 and students should be in their classes by this time. Also, be sure that you finish this first semester strong. We will have several fun events planned, but you also need to make sure you're taking care of business in the classroom.

Good afternoon guys. I just wanted to let you know that we are still 181 cans shy of our 1000 can goal. If everyone will simply bring in 2 cans tomorrow, we can still reach it. Remember, 1000 cans = Whitener doing the Ice Bucket Challenge!!
