Almost There - End of 2nd Quarter is Nigh

If you have any unfinished work, tests, quizzes, or homework, now is the best time to get everything done. Just think, if you finish everything before you go on Christmas Break, you won't wake up in the middle of the night panicking about things that you don't have finished during a time when you would rather not panic and would rather sleep in, undisturbed. Just a thought.  

And for those of you who like to be extra prepared and ready, please enjoy the exam schedule below:


Thank You

We know times can be tough around Christmas, so we would like to extend a heartfelt thank you to those who gave during last week's Christmas programs.We appreciate every nickel, and we're excited to put a whopping $2149 towards the Christmas Project. If you would still like to be a part of this project, the last day to give is tomorrow, December 15th. 


Home Game, Friday, 12/15

Come out and join us as we cheer on our basketball teams as they faceoff this Friday against Dickson Christian. Check out the concessions, enjoy the pep band, and cheer yourself hoarse because this is where memories are made. 

Half-Day, 12/21

If I've said it once, I feel like I've said it 493 times, this year is flying by. How in the world are we already at Christmas Break?! Just so you know, Thursday is a half day, which means pickup is at 11:30 and not only will students be anxious to go, teachers will be as well. No school Friday. Obviously.

Spirit Week, 1/8-1/12

School will resume January 8th and it will be a full day full of school spirit. School starts at 8 am and lunches need to be put in before midnight on January 7th. It's easy to forget so be sure to set a reminder on your phone. 

Stay tuned for the Spirit Week lineup. Everyday there will be a different theme to dress up for. So be prepared to show your school spirit. Lord willing, we will have the details in next week's parent page.

Homecoming, 1/13

...and after you think you couldn't possibly have any more spirit, be sure to come to homecoming, January 13th and enjoy the Enchanted Garden, complete with fairy lights. (I'm a nut for those little lights. Odd, I know.) It's a great ending to a great week and will be the last homecoming for our seniors. It's bittersweet watching these kids grow up.
