Club and Social News:

Our community returned to school rejuvenated and motivated on April 10 after a week-long Spring Break. Students used this convenient break to catch up on school work, travel, relax, or do something else exciting.
Help us build a book that will be treasured forever! Please submit your yearbook photos to our TreeRing website. The deadline for submitting pictures has been extended to April 28, so use your time to leave a mark in this year’s memories.
Take time to honor our shared mother and home! Join the Environmental Club on April 21 to celebrate Earth Day.
Polish your world language skills, or perhaps simply take an opportunity to learn about a new culture. Join the world language Immersion Language to interact and converse with fellow students who are fluent in foreign languages. The offered languages include French, Spanish, German, Korean, and more.

Academic News:

Mark your calendars for useful advising assemblies that are upcoming! Locate the link on your Class Connect schedule, and learn about Big Future on April 20, and about the significance of nature on the 26.
Parents and Learning Coaches who have any background in a STEM field – this opportunity is for you! Dr. Keaton will be reaching out with category assignments and other information about this process in May.
