***CONCERT RESCHEDULED - Good afternoon, the PK-12 choral and band concert has been rescheduled for Wednesday, December 17th, at 2:00pm in the New Gym. We understand that the time/date may not be ideal for everyone, but we hope you can attend. This decision was made based on the limited number of school days remaining before break and to accommodate student availability with other scheduled extracurricular activities. We are looking at the possibility of livestreaming/recording the event, but need to ensure we're meeting copyright laws (so this may not be possible...we'll communicate when we know more). If you have further questions or concerns, please don't hesitate to contact Mr. Brosnahan at the school. Thank you for your understanding and flexibility, we hope you'll be able to join us for this special event!

Chemistry and Bio II students checked out the Sanford Research Center yesterday-- they may have even learned some things!
