Countdown Mornings in Library Foyer

Hello All,

We’ll be counting down to 25 every morning this month in the Library Foyer. Please feel free to bring along your classes/Advisories/yourselves to witness the spectacle of a 8:07am “rip” each day by one of our students and one of our colleagues.

Hope to see you then!

School Bells

I can hear the bells.

Tracy, are you alright?

Don’t you hear them chime?

I don’t hear anything…

Please submit your bells in studentlargestorage / school bells. When you submit, please put the name of your advisory. We try to alternate between primary, middle, and upper school bells and we need to make sure we don’t miss any. If you have already submitted, please go back and rename them.

If there aren’t enough bells submitted, then the bell selection will be at the mercy of Miss Keus! (evil laugh!)

 

New student files in main building as of this week

All our new student files have been moved to their permanent home in the ante room before Gretchen’s office.
These filing cabinets are locked and should remain so.

If you want access ask Gretchen or anyone in Admissions. The keys are easy to access.

There is a blue folder for you sign out any files that you remove. Kindly ensure that they are returned to their home – missing student files can cause a big headache.
Thanks

Sue and everyone on the A Team

Chinese Teachers’ Day-Confucius

Confucius (551–479 BC)was a Chinese educator, editor, politician, and philosopher of Chinese history.

 

Confucius said, Teaching students without discrimination. Men at their birth are much the same in their natures. Due to different education and environments, some grows to be good, others bad. The bad, if he receives proper education and mends his ways, should be forgiven of his past.

 

Enjoy your day!
