Coaches will be available to answer questions and share their vision for a successful season. Let’s gear up for a fantastic winter of teamwork and competition!
School Pictures and Yearbooks
- School Portraits:
Our middle and high school yearbook classes took school portraits on the first day of school. We have been working hard to edit and correctly name these photos. We will share the portraits free of charge with students via their school Google email accounts. We hope to have all photos shared with students by Thanksgiving break. - Make-Up Photos:
Make-up portraits will be scheduled after Thanksgiving break. Students who still need a photo will be sent a notification through their school email. Our goal is to ensure every student has a portrait in the yearbook. - Yearbook Sales:
Yearbooks are currently on sale for $65. The price will increase after January 1 to $75. Check out the attached flyer for more details.

Sheets and books can be turned in during seminar or during lunch to the Information Center (Library).
Coin Challenge Fundraiser
Are you ready to help win ice cream for you and your WHOLE grade? It’s time to participate in the COIN CHALLENGE fundraiser for Model United Nations! There will be a large Culligan bottle for each grade level out in the lobby during lunch until December 5.
