April 20 Heads-Up

Please know that Friday, April 20, has the potential for low attendance and additional student walkouts, as it is the 19th anniversary of the school shooting in Columbine, CO, as well as a recognized "counterculture holiday" and cannabis celebration day. We are communicating with staff and students in advance of the 20th to reiterate that attendance is expected and required; that smoking or drug use of any kind is not permitted; and that, if students do choose to peacefully walk out, they must remain on campus and return to class within a single class period. For additional information, please visit the Keeping Students Safe page of our website.

Earth Day and Global Youth Services Day

Earth Day is this Sunday, April 22, and there are a variety of clean-up and other environmentally-friendly activities taking place around the region. The non-profit organization SOLVE has a list of projects on its website - many of which are open to youth ages 13 and up (or younger, if accompanied by an adult). Students may also wish to participate in the  Global Youth Services Day habitat restoration event taking place on Saturday, April 21, from 9 a.m. to noon, at Noble Woods Park, 475 SE Century Blvd. Global Youth Services Day is the largest volunteer event in the world, with over 135 countries participating.
