Take a look at our gratitude bulletin board, created by the Guidance Department. It delivers a wonderful message during this season. A big thank you to the students who worked on the bulletin board and to those who shared what they are thankful for.

No one who achieves success does so without acknowledging the help of others. The wise and confident acknowledge this help with gratitude.

World Kindness Day was November 13th. The Friends of Rachel Club organized a schoolwide activity in which students shared an act of kindness they had done for someone or someone else did for them. These acts of kindness were written on a strip of construction paper and then connected to form a chain that became part of the lobby bulletin board. Be sure to check it out during parent conferences!

The sophomore class is holding a Mister Ed's fundraiser until December 14th. Items sold include various flavors of fudge, nuts and gourmet pretzels.
