Join us for a fun-filled day of activities hosted by your two school goal committees (Literacy & Healthy Schools) on Tuesday, January 24th!

Throughout the day you’ll circulate through several practical and fun activity stations, ranging from a Harry Potter-themed Escape Room to an “organize your life” session to tips for managing your stress (just to name a few)!

Arrive in the Commons before 9:00 so that you have time to find your nametag and grab a seat where you’ll hear the day’s schedule.

A pizza lunch will be provided but remember to bring your own water bottle!

We are looking forward to seeing you all there on Tuesday!
