Week 12
“Success is never so interesting as struggle.” – Willa Cather
It was great seeing everyone at parent-teacher conferences.
So much is happening this week.
On Tuesday, we are having the Thanksgiving Feast. I’m sure it is going to be delicious.
Tuesday is a paid dress down day with the profits going to the yearbook
Wednesday is the Turkey Trot. I hope everyone will be able to participate. All funds raised will go to Long Island Cares. Last week the students learned a little about hunger on Long Island. This is a great way for our students to demonstrate compassion and giving to others.
