Newberry Medal Speaker coming to WC
A note from Seven Hills School:
We have Newberry Medal winner and New York Times bestselling author Matt de La Pena speaking at Seven Hills later this month. Thought you or some of your faculty might be interested in hearing him speak. We heard him last year and he is a fantastic storyteller.
You can RSVP online here, and tickets for educators are $10. Flyer is attached.

Phishing gone Wild
Due to increased hacking, TIS will be asking all staff to change their email passwords soon. Incredibly, a phishing attempt with a hyperlink to change an email password went out as well.
Overall lesson: Please be cautious. When in doubt, feel free to give us a call.
