Message from Principal Grebb:
February is the shortest month of the year but feels like an eternity. This stressful time of year is almost over and in two weeks everyone will be on a much-needed break. These two weeks are extremely important as we close up the third nine weeks. Lots of classes are giving tests this past week and the week coming up. We need everyone to show up and do their best so we can hit the home stretch with passing grades. I hope everyone gets some time to relax and enjoy the beautiful weather this weekend.
