Student Senate

Thanks from the Student Senate to anyone who is participating in today’s color wars!

Tomorrow we will be erasing rudeness and unkindness throughout the school by doing a white out. We will be covering up bullying by wearing all white or gray and don’t forget the staff will be picking a random day this week and discussing which grade participated the most. Have a happy Halloween.
