Bears,

We had a busy Friday the 13th today! Polar plunges in the parking lot, a blood drive, and even a National Business Honors Society induction kept our students busy on this club day. Thank you to our students for their continued passion for all they do and for our staff for supporting their work. Enjoy the well-deserved weekend and we’ll see everyone next week for the abbreviated, final week of third term!
