We need your help!!! We will be administering the Winter End of Course Exams from December 4th to December 8th. We are inviting members of our community and stakeholders to create posters or signs with words of encouragement for our scholars. Our intention is to adorn the hallways with positive messages and affirmations. We know our scholars would feel a little extra special if they had words of encouragement from their loved ones and members of the community. Posters can be dropped off at the school or you can share a message that we will print and share.
