Weekly Memo (February 17-21)

Thursday Was a Big Day

We had a great ending to last week— and I’m so thankful for the extended weekend! Congratulations to Kaylin, Jonah, and Stella for receiving the most votes for the Valentines Day boxes. They were all so good, and I’m thankful everyone went all out on it. In case you weren’t able to stop by the display room, you can click the image below to view all the boxes.

In addition to celebrating Valentines Day on Thursday, we also spent the morning at the secondary campus working on our pottery projects for Art class. Students created their clay works of art, and they’ll be ready for the kiln in about a week or two. You can click the image below to view pictures from our experience.
