A WORD TO THE WISE...
*7.5 DAY COUNTDOWN IS ON...Stay the course! We can do this. Take time this week to encourage someone not on your grade level. If we give positives to all those around, we will make it to winter break easily!

*FACULTY HOLIDAY PARTY - Reminder that the Faculty Holiday Party will be held on Friday, December 14 at Baker Street Pub. The social committee will be asking for reservations before too long. Please consider attending this event, even if for a short amount of time. It's always good to extend our relationships beyond or grade/department.
