Class Meetings (New)
Last Monday, we had six class meetings that included over 600 juniors and seniors. After the last meeting, we walk the rows in the auditorium to leave a clean space. The picture to the right shows the FIVE items that were picked up off the floor!!!! That's it! I'm so thankful and proud of the Respect, Courtesy, and Pride demonstrated by our students.
