Happy Thanksgiving

Good evening,
Hope you had a good weekend. We are looking forward to the positive energy of Spirit Week dress themes and Spartan Day activities scheduled for Wednesday.
When we return from Thanksgiving Break Winter Sports will begin, followed by the Drama Club’s Fall Presentation of James and The Giant Peach on December 3rd and 4th, the Grade 9 and 10 Semi-formal on December 10th and an active December calendar of club activities. Parent / Guardian Conferences are Wednesday, December 1.
As usual, much going on and much to look forward to.
I wish all students and their families a thankful and restful Thanksgiving Break.
Best,
Mr. Lombardi
