Week of November 11, 2024
Every student graduates ready to live, learn, and thrive in a global community
If the weather report is correct, we will finally get to experience some crisp fall temperatures this week!
November offers us a wonderful opportunity to reflect on a theme of gratitude. It reminds us of the importance of appreciating the growth and achievements of our students and the supportive community that surrounds them. As we strive for opportunities to give back to the Etown community, look for an upcoming food drive that will help our local food banks this Thanksgiving season. We are thankful for your continued partnership and involvement in making our school a positive environment.
Have a great week!
