Message from Jeff and Yolanda
Thanksgiving is an occasion for all of us to take time to enjoy our families and give thanks. Somewhere between preparing the food, eating, watching the Macy’s parade or some football, take time to pause, reflect, and appreciate all of the things that are taken for granted whether at home or school.
Jeff and I are thankful that we every day we have an opportunity to work with amazing teachers and students. Thank you for all the hard work and efforts you put forth in educating the next generation.
Enjoy your much deserved time off. Have a restful Thanksgiving Break!
Happenings
- On Monday, the Culinary Arts students will prepare the annual Thanksgiving feast. During lunch, enjoy a meal of turkey and all the trimmings for a reasonable price.
