Dear Families,<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
If you happened to see a lot of students around the high school today wearing pajamas please don\u2019t be alarmed because we have officially launched spirit week prior to the annual Thanksgiving Day football game against Needham this coming Thursday.\u00a0Next week is also our annual pep rally that is always filled with special moments of kids enjoying their community together. Honestly, anytime you have over 1200 students in one place live I hold my breath a little, but somehow I still enjoy the moment of watching our kids celebrate each other with music, dance, games and school spirit.\u00a0A huge thanks to our Student Unification leaders both staff and students for helping Mr. Shattuck put on this event.\u00a0<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
I\u2019m certain there were a lot of assessments this week and on Monday and Tuesday.\u00a0Anytime we have an extended holiday there is a build up like this leading up to it because teachers are not allowed to give short term homework during the break and they cannot access students immediately following the break. Let us know if there\u2019s anything we can do to help.\u00a0<\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n\n\n\n
