Good morning, Falcons! Welcome to 2nd semester! Hope you enjoyed your 3-day weekend and are ready to celebrate this spirit week in our lead up to winter formal!
Today’s theme is Once Upon a Time, so we hope we’ll see everyone dressed as their favorite fairy tale character. Today’s lunch competition is going to be amazing - come out to the quad and show off your musical knowledge as we play “finish the lyrics!”
Tomorrow’s theme is Pixie Hollow - or the Elements (earth, air, wind, fire), so use your imagination to create your own look! Our lunch competition will be hilarious - it involves dancing, ping pong balls, and some good music. Don’t miss out!! Check out our website and socials for details on the rest of our spirit week themes and activities!
This week, winter formal tickets are $65, and will be sold up until the end of 5th-period lunch on Thursday, January 20. No tickets will be sold after that date, so make sure you have your paperwork completed, your debt cleared, and your tickets purchased in time!

Sign up in the counseling office before school, at lunch, or after school.
If you’d like to audition for the spring musical, please see Mrs. Kolberg for more information - auditions will be held January 27th and 28th after school in the PAC. This is going to be an amazing show, so if you have any interest in singing, acting, or dancing (or if you want to help with costumes, makeup, set design, or sound and lights), make sure to come out to the auditions!
Today’s ASB meeting is during 7th period - teachers, students will check in with you and then head to P2.
Have a great week, Falcons! Keep your masks on inside, wash your hands, and stay safe!
