I'd like to thank Jessica and Jenna for organizing the follow event for the school:

"Teens for Jeans" is an organization sponsored by Aéropostale and dosomething.org. It is a charity that collects gently used jeans and gives them to homeless shelters. Bring in your old jeans to the school between January 21st and February 4th in front of the office. If we donate 500 pairs of jeans, we are eligible for $10, 000. LKS...remember that we can make a difference!

Currently, our staff is focusing on final assessments and evaluations in order to complete report cards.  January 25th is a designated Professional Activity Day for teachers to work on these items individually or with colleagues. There will be no school.

We are also focusing on providing staff with training opportunities to use our existing Smart Boards. Currently, we have 14 boards in the classrooms. Our intention over the next few years is to have one in each class. They are a wonderful teaching and learning tool.
