"I want you to act like the house is on fire, because it is." - Greta Thunberg. "The world will not be destroyed by those who do evil, but by those who watch them without doing anything." -- Albert Einstein   What can you do to help reverse climate change?  Mrs. Raymond will be showing some short clips about climate change and action, and opportunities to get your voices heard. Sign up for the library during ST on Friday, October 4th. This is a repeat of last week's presentation because freshmen and sophomores were unable to attend. The library, itself, will be closed during this time, so only sign up for the library if you want to attend the event in the agora. 

Tranquil Tuesdays are back during Spartan Time.  Sign up for the library on Tuesdays to read.  No school work or computers, just you and a book. Mrs. Raymond is passionate about reading.  She will kick you out of the library if you are not reading during this time :)

Attention Seniors, please remember that your Senior Photos are due in October and your Senior Information sheets are due in November. If you do not have the paper for those, they can be picked up from the door of D113.
