Greetings and Happy New Year! I hope you had a wonderful holiday season.
School opens for students on Tuesday and we’ll be jumping right in with a lot of activity.
First, some updates and reminders.
Congratulations to senior Michael Berro who was accepted Early Decision to Davidson College.
Check out the photo gallery on the website for pictures of the snow flurries of December 18, the Holidays Around the World presentations and the band performance at Southpoint Mall.
Last call for the coat/outerwear collection drive. Please turn in you donations to the container in the Big Hall.
The month of January is an intermission between the two offerings of after school clubs. This first week back, however, those clubs that had an instructor cancellation during the fall have make up sessions – they are dance club on Tuesday (pick up from Lyon Park), Wednesday drama club and Thursday drama club.
Mathcounts WILL meet during the month of January in preparation for the early February competition. Students in attendance will be recorded in the regular after school attendance count.
Both bands are on hiatus until the start of second semester (Tuesday, January 19). Details about second semester will be sent home in a letter from Glenn this week.
The basketball calendar has been updated with time and game changes that go into place this week. Basketball players will receive a separate email with details.
