This year is flying by! I can’t believe it’s December already!
Just a reminder to check the High School website for Daily Announcements and Calendar along with the PTA website and social media to keep up on what is happening.
I hope everyone is able to find time to relax and enjoy the holidays with your family and friends!
Wishing you and your family Happy Holidays and a Happy and HEALTHY New Year!
