9.21 Weekly Update

Happy Saturday MS!

I can't believe that we are already at the end of our first three weeks.  Since I sent out a lengthy email, I won't make this too long this week.

(I forgot to take a quick picture of the calendar before leaving yesterday as we were excited upon coming back from the 7th grade retreat.  I will update this on Monday morning with that information.)

Wear gym uniform for everyone else

**Students will be working in the school garden for part of this day, so please make sure students are appropriately dressed for such activities.**

High School News:

All 8th graders interested should begin scheduling their shadow days.  I would recommend making a pros and cons list that you fill out after each visit.  That way you remember what you do and don't like while it is fresh in your brain.
