Outdoor School Info
We have been busy working on all of the many details involved with making ODS week happen for our 6/7/8! As previously announced, we are going to Camp Westwind March 5-9. Students need to be able to come for the entire week, no early leaving or late arrivals.  This week will be the last week to order Scrip to go towards ODS fees. The cost is $450 for the week, including transportation, lodging, meals, and supervision for the 5 days. Please contact Ms. H if you need to discuss scholarship options, we have some available! We are also accepting applications from Juniors and Seniors to be ODS counselors! Please help us spread the word!

At the State of the School Meeting, we had sign ups to volunteer for two events at the end of the school year. On June 11th, we have a carnival planned and we are looking for helpers.
