Good morning and Happy Friday!

What a week it has been! With so much happening, I hope you’re all looking forward to a chance to relax and recharge this weekend.

I want to take a moment to recognize the incredible work of our students who planned and led yesterday’s Black History Month celebration. Their dedication and creativity made for a truly meaningful event, and we are so proud of them!

You may have also noticed our academic clubs making waves in competitions—several more accomplishments are highlighted today! Whether you’ve competed, cheered on your classmates, or supported fundraisers like today’s blood drive, your involvement is what makes our school community so strong. Your passion and hard work do not go unnoticed!

Wishing you all a wonderful and restful weekend.

This foul-mouthed, R&B-singing carnivore promises unending fame and fortune to the down and out Krelborn as long as he keeps feeding it, BLOOD. Over time, though, Seymour discovers Audrey II's out of this world origins and intent towards global domination!
