    Robin Hood & MS Reunion

    Sherwood Forest will come to the Kemper this week as the cast and crew of Robin Hood take the stage! As it's tech week, please be mindful of homework loads for the 30+ MS students who are participating. 

    The MS Reunion will be in the 6th Grade Hallway on Friday afternoon. Stop by to visit MS alumnae!

    7th & 8th Grade Health Speakers on Monday

    On Monday, we will welcome Amy Johnson and Greg Smallidge from Great Conversations to guide workshops and conversations with the 7th and 8th Grades. The 7th Grade workshop will focus on body image, social media, stereotypes, and the role of media in creating and sustaining these stereotypes. The 8th Graders will focus on healthy decision making, sexual education, and STD awareness and prevention. 7th & 8th Grade Advisors: please plan to attend the session with your group unless you have a teaching conflict.
