For Your Information & Action
Holiday Book Swap: The HRHS library is hosting the holiday book swap in the library on Dec. 19, before, during, and after school. Students, faculty, and staff are welcome to participate. Drop off your “lightly used” books for the swap in the library anytime before Dec. 19. You will receive a voucher to select books on the day of the swap. Come early for the best selection. We will have books suitable for all ages, many new or very lightly used. Participants can swap for as many books as they bring in. This is a great no-cost way to treat someone to a book! Any books left over at the end of the day on December 22 will be donated to charity!
Calendar Updates:
- We are adding a faculty meeting on Feb. 26 to make up for the snow day.
- The Dec. 11 department meeting is changed to a faculty meeting.
- The Dec. 18 faculty meeting will stay the same as scheduled.
Holiday Party: Appetizers, including vegan and gluten free options, will be provided. There will be a cash bar. Feel free to bring a dessert to share!
Reminders
Office Detention: Please check your office detention list and take attendance using this spreadsheet. If your name is not linked, it means you have no students assigned.
