The Phoenix Feather
Homer Flex High School - Week of November 18, 2024
You're Invited to Flexgiving!
Please join us on Wednesday, November 27 for our annual Flexgiving Feast! Each student is signing up to bring a dish to share (we will help with purchasing ingredients and cooking if needed - just have your student speak with a staff memeber), and on Wednesday we will begin around 1:00. This is always a favorite event, and having our families here makes it all that much better. Hope you can make it! Please call the office if you have any questions.

You're Invited to Pancake Breakfast!
Every Wednesday morning we have volunteers in our building to cook bacon and pancakes for our students, staff, and families! Please join us from 8:30 to 9:00 in the Commons for breakfast! We'd love to see you there. If you're interested in being part of the volunteer crew, please talk to Ingrid while you're here - she heads up the volunteer list, and be sure you've done your background check for the district. If you have any questions, please contact the office.

This service provides users the opportunity to leave a message or speak with a live crisis counselor for immediate needs. The helpline is administered by an independent, outside company. All communications remain private, confidential, and anonymous.
