Cougar Tales

Happy Friday everyone! What an incredible morning celebrating our Veterans. We began the day with a complimentary breakfast for our veterans and had an excellent turnout. We then transitioned our veterans to the gym for an assembly featuring presentations and contributions by every grade level.

Conferences will take place on Monday, 11/20, beginning at 1:00 pm and Tuesday, 11/21, beginning at 8:30 am. Signups are taking place through Bloomz and teachers have already posted these slots. If there is a conflict, please reach out directly to your child’s teacher.

I’m still a little sore from Friday’s student/staff soccer game, but what an event last Friday afternoon! Congrats to the students on their well-deserved win. I’m already looking forward to a rematch next year!

Congratulations to our athletes on an incredible fall season. Both soccer and boys’ and girls’ cross country are 2023 SEMSAC champs! See below for further results and details from the championships.
