April 8th Weekly Updates
A Message From Your Coordinator
Make sure you check out all the information on the newsletter. Not only are there enrichments and volunteer opportunities, but there are also important school documents and information for the spring semester.
I have added a section for summer camp opportunities that fit with the theme of our academy at the end of the newsletter..
9th Grade: Religions of the World Tour: Due to scheduling issues with all of the houses of worship, we will be conducting this field trip in the fall of next year. This means that you will get two field trips next year.
10th Grade: Contemporary Art Museum on April 17th. You will get your permission slips for the field trip on Friday of this week in English Class. Please remember that you must be passing all classes in order to go on the field trip.
