  • Hey everyone! We’d love for you to join us for French Club on Wednesday, September 24th at 7:30 AM in Room 251. This time, we’ll be making crêpes together—so come hungry and ready to have some fun! It’s a great chance to hang out, try something new, and start your morning with friends. We can’t wait to see you there!

  • If you are interested in getting service hours in a fun way, come talk to Mr. Ginal about working the away concession stand for the football game this coming Friday night. Mr. Ginal needs 2-3 people to help work the stand. He will give you more details when you agree to do it, but be ready to go around 5:30 and you will be dismissed essentially when the game gets over. Hope to see some volunteers!
