School Breakfast: So many studies have shown that students who eat breakfast are more likely to: stay focused, attend school regularly, and perform at higher levels of math, reading & standardized testing. By the way, ALL students receive NO-COST breakfast (and lunch)!  It's such a great way to start their day and helps moms and dads not have to worry about meals in their already busy morning routines. The theme is the QUEST FOR SCHOOL BREAKFAST - where students can embark on a journey fueled by nutritious food that will provide strength, focus & energy for them to CONQUER THEIR DAY!

Dual Enrollment Information Meeting: There will be a meeting for Dual Enrollment on Wednesday, February 25th, 10:30 (during 2nd 1/2 of Advisory) in the B Wing Amphitheater. If you attend, you will learn about how to qualify for dual enrollment, the types of courses students take, costs that may or may not be included, colleges that qualify, and the application and enrollment process. All students were sent an email with the dual enrollment information. Please check your email for details and attend this meeting if dual enrollment might be a good option for you.
