Please bring your winter gear (jacket, mitts, hat) and indoor shoes!  It's cold out, but snow boots are not to be worn around the school or in classrooms.

There is a food drive going on until December 15th. Please bring in any non-perishable food items you can spare.

Some students need to bring in items for their exploratory rotations. We have a couple of extras of each of these things at school, but the more that can be brought in, the better. 
If you are in the photography / tech rotation, you need a digital camera and the connector cord, if possible (not a cell phone).  Cameras can be kept by Mrs Roach during non-tech class times, if parents wish.
If you are in the guitar rotation, you need to try to bring in a guitar and practice each evening.
