 Thank you to all the families of those senior speech students this week who came to support our upcoming graduates. I know it means the world to them to have you there and support them as they continue to get ever closer to graduation. I like to think the coffee and doughnuts are a decent enough reason to help encourage you to stop by the school too! In all seriousness, as mentioned at the conclusion of each speech day, it is no small feat to put in the research, time commitment, preparation and delivery of the senior project and senior speech that our students are required to do. I’m very proud of their efforts and the work put into their different projects.  

 Please be sure to read the information about an exciting event happening at PAL, Capital High, Helena High, Central Elementary and around our community next week – a visit and performance by SupaMan! I am positive that SupaMan’s insight, performance and message will resonate with our students. I’d highly encourage you to ask your student about the performance or to attend one of the community events coming soon.  

 Lastly, we start a new block on Monday. That means a STAT day to finish up any remaining work from block 11 for our students. If you get a second email from me, know your student should be at school at the typical 820am start time. If not, we will see them after lunch at 1120am. 

 Have a good weekend, 

 Matt Carey
