Welcome
School Wide Project for 9th-11th grade students: Market Day
On May 14, 2019, the Market Day will open to the public in the SSAE building from 11:00 AM-2:00 PM, where students will be selling homemade projects, food, and games. The wrap-up for the project is Thursday, May 16,(after the final ALEKS Knowledge Check) when each team will write their donation letter to a local community charitable organization they have decided to donate their profits to.
It is vital that all students attend every Tuesday and Thursday during this time period. (Virtual students will continue with the designated curriculum.) Please also encourage your student to complete the Market Day survey that the high school teachers sent out via email as soon as possible. More details to come!
