The Little Nell Pop Up Menu
The ASD food services team has partnered with Culinary Director Matt Zubrod at The Little Nell to host a special pop up lunch menu for two weeks in November.
We are thankful to The Little Nell for their generosity and this partnership for bringing this exciting menu to our schools.
AVSC Season Opens
At this point, lifts will start spinning on November 11th. If temps change, that date could be moved up, but unlikely. A couple of the Freestyle groups are headed up to the base of Highlands to hike and hit rails after school. There is a shuttle leaving the club at 3:00pm and another one at 4:00pm.
All student athletes must sign out of school in the front office on training days. Students who miss classes must connect with their teachers for missed assignments, or register for CDLS online courses.
