The Weekly Highlander

As we close out Teacher Appreciation Week, a HUGE thank you to our PTA and parents. Parents brought in many snacks and drinks that have stocked the lounge keeping our hard working staff well fed and energized. PTA hosted a Teacher Appreciation Lunch on Wednesday, the taco bar was so good and staff even had a few extra minutes to sit and talk with their colleagues. The fun kept going on Thursday night where ASB and PTA hosted our Student vs Staff basketball game. We had a great time this week and I was so proud to be a Highlander. In case you were wondering, the students won by one point at the buzzer!

On Wednesday, May 15th, students that have participated in the 20% Project will be presenting their work and what they have learned from 6pm - 7pm.
