WRESTLING TEAM
Wrestling is a great sport because anybody can do it. In this sport, you wrestle people that are the same weight as you; size is not an issue. The sport of wrestling also helps you develop important qualities such as self-esteem, sportsmanship, work ethic, and leadership skills. Wrestling teaches control, not violence. If you are interested in trying this sport, sign up on the list outside of Room 162, or speak with Mr. Menard or Mrs. Carpio-Sementilli for more information.
STAFF CULINARY LOUNGE
This is a reminder to staff that our own little restaurant Chez Chaussette (House of Sok's) is in Room 160 and is open Tuesday to Friday for those who would like a home cooked meal. Our daily menu is posted on the community website. So all you newbies and oldies come on down and try some of our freshly made food items.
COATS FOR KIDS
The Social Justice Club will be collecting coats next week for our Coats for Kids campaign. If you have any gently used coats, snow pants, hats, mitts or scarves, please consider donating them to families in need in our community. All donations can be brought to the Chapel before school next week.
