Hello Sachems! Welcome Back!
Hello Sachems! I hope you had a great weekend! We had so many events this weekend between athletics and student council…it was a great weekend to be a Sachem! Congratulations to all of the Sachems who were engaged in games this weekend. The Winter Ball on Saturday night was absolutely awesome. It is such a great experience to watch our school come together to celebrate Sachem Pride. This is such a great time of year to celebrate on how far we have come this year….and keeping the eye on the prize to the end. We have a very busy, but exciting week ahead with February vacation on the horizon…we can do it! Keep it up! Here are a few items for the week ahead:
