t's Winter Conference Time! The High School will be having conferences Thursday evening, 2/21 and all day Friday, 2/22. Attached is a link to Sign up Genius so that you can sign up for your conference time. Seniors are not required to work at their internships on 2/22, but because some of them would like to, we have reserved Thursday spots for Seniors.
Please plan on spending an additional 15 minutes-30 minutes after your scheduled conference time if you are a Soph, Jr. or Sr. to complete your transition conference with Susan Beach.

Last weekend, the Summit High School girls were invited to a lock in. They came and played Ghost in the Graveyard and Hide and Seek in the dark in the high school halls. We all cracked up trying to understand each other playing the game "Speak Out" with our mouth guards on. We had pizza and watched the IU game at Hometown Pizza. And when it got late, everyone watched movies and ate popcorn and oreos in their sleeping bags. Thanks for a great night, girls!
