EVENTS AND NOTICES BIKE TO SCHOOL WEDNESDAY 6-12-2019 Although it won't be a supervised event, every student who owns a bicycle and feels safe enough riding to school on their own (with parent consent) or with a parent is encouraged to bike here. It would be great to beat our previous full bike rack record of 75 bicycles. The weather is expected to be spectacular this Wednesday and there will be slap bracelets for every biker. All registrations for this summer's peer leadership mini-camp are due Monday June 10! We have several spots left for current 6th and 7th-grade students. Because this camp conflicts with other camps, we will only hold SEED camp for two days, July 15 and 16. Please return registration forms to Jamilah Vogel.  LINK TO FORM * Humanities Campers will be able to sign up for BOTH camps! * If any student is interested in this program but not able to register for camp, please talk to Ms. Jamilah to request an exception.
