Team Magnet Exchange: One of our middle school traditions is for staff and students to create “secret” magnets with compliments for teammates whose names are randomly chosen. The rules: We spend no money. Everything must be created from the crafting supplies and recyclables we have at school. Students are welcome to bring stuff from home to craft with; however, this should not require parents to run to the store and buy something. We will give students time to work on their magnets in school. 

Team Breakfast: We are planning to have a Team Potluck Breakfast on Thursday, Dec. 21. We will be asking students to contribute to the feast. More details to come. 

Winter Experience Field Trip: We are excited to share some fantastic news regarding the winter experience field trips. We received a very generous donation from the Masons. This donation covers the cost of all the middle school students for the Winter Experience field trip. We are unbelievably grateful for this generosity!

What does this mean? All students are completely funded by this donation! 

The Fine Print: Chaperones will still need to pay the daily $18 lift tickets to participate. 

Thanks to the Masons' generous donation, we are able to offer families who have already paid for the winter experience two options: We will happily shred your check;  just let us know by Monday, December 4th, or we will use your payment to support future Winter Experience field trips. Please let us know if you have any questions. Again, thank you to the Masons for this generous donation, and thanks to everyone who supports this experience for our students!
