Last week there were no new items to add under holidays and holy days –a rare, slow week! But this week we roll into October, which is LBGT History Month, German American Heritage Month, Italian American Heritage Month, National Disability Employment Awareness Month, and National Bullying Prevention Month.
So there is a lot of awareness going on in October! And don’t forget that October 5 is World Teachers Day!
Enjoy the first week in October, as we wrap up the 1st Quarter grading period and head into Fall Break.

Spirit Wear Delayed
Unfortunately, due to supply chain issues, our Fall Spirit Wear order has been delayed until mid- to late October. We're actively working on a few ways to get some sort of spirit wear available earlier for new students and students who have outgrown their spirit wear. Stay tuned.
