Weekly School Broadcast The seasons change pretty quickly around here. Just a couple of weeks ago, students and staff were enjoying the warm Fall weather with classes outside. Now they are wearing winter coats, stocking caps, and gloves. It may warm up a little bit in the coming weeks, but it's unlikely that we will see weather that allows us to hold class outside, until Spring.
