White Day
Calling all music–lovers — don’t forget to see Mr. Mackenzie in the Learning Center or with Mr. Lacroix in the Student Life Office to sign up for the Sofia Philharmonic Orchestra! Come watch this world-class group play an all-Mozart program just up the road at Lyndon Institute on Wednesday, February 7. Tickets are free for students, but this is going to be one popular show, so make sure you sign up today!
Last year, the “Make it Better” club and many others partnered with the NEK Council on Aging to create Valentine’s Day cards with messages of love and warmth for local elderly community members. This year, we are doing another Valentine’s Card drive, but it will look a little different. Your first opportunity to help will be in advisory on Wednesday and Friday. Don’t forget to be creative! Another opportunity will take place on Thursday in the library. Throughout the day and after school, there will be a table with supplies to make Valentine’s Day cards. Please stop by and make a card or two in your free block or study hall. Thanks to everyone who can help make Valentine’s Day a little more special for our elderly community members!
