Legend has it that a century or so ago, in beautifully bucolic Peacham, an old hermit lived in a cabin at the bottom of a hill. The locals knew him as Wizard Miers since he was a self-proclaimed alchemist. A stormy night, with lightning striking all over, he had his cabin, and the entire hill turned to flame! Come out and explore a hike up Devil Hill on Sunday, March 16th. We’ll enjoy nice trails and then have a hearty lunch from legendary 3 Ponds in Danville. To sign up for this outing, go to Student Life or see Mr. Holden.

Quarter 3 is not over yet, but Student Life would like to acknowledge our quarter 3 Top Tier Topper before she leaves for a couple of months. This quarters Top Tier Topper has been working hard and putting in tons of hours all while carrying a tiny human.

If we could all give a round of applause to Mrs. LaBounty for her hard work and wish her the best of luck as she enters motherhood! Mrs. Labounty, please stop by Student Life to pick up your prize.
