Sweet smells of Christmas fill the air while holly jolly tunes play in the halls. Foods & Nutrition classes practiced their culinary skills while baking Christmas cookies.

Mr. Rademacher and Mr. Benjamin are spreading some Blue Devil Christmas cheer today!

Looking ahead, we want to try and minimize our chances of being shut down due to COVID-19 and forced to go fully remote learning. With that being said, our current return plan from Christmas Break will be similar to what we did after Thanksgiving Break. The first 3 days (1/4 – 1/6) will be Remote Learning Days. We will return to In-Person Learning on Thursday (1/7). We were originally scheduled to have an E-Learning Day on Friday, Jan. 8th. We will forgo the E-Learning Day on the 8th and that will be a normal In-Person Learning Day. I hope everyone enjoys the break. You all deserve it!
Monday, Jan. 4th              Remote Learning Day
