General Notes:
Volleyball Camp: Camp will be held on December 13.
The students have an opportunity to help xeroscape the front of the middle school. Red pavers will be purchased to cover the dirt in front of the 6th and 8th grade classrooms. Also, students will have a chance to make a paver that will be added to the xeroscape. We would like each student to bring in a old pair of jeans and a pair of gloves that can be left at school for the days we work on the xeroscape.
Thank you for supporting this project!
