"N" Schedule Day
Advisory Day
·
Today (Tuesday) we still have guests in the building. They are evaluating us for the purpose of
accreditation (so your diplomas will “count” when you apply to college). Please be the good hosts we know you to
be. Feel free to speak if you are
questioned and be on your best behavior.
We will all benefit from your cooperation. Thank you!

Feb 4 – 15: Bring canned food and peanut butter

Quote of the day from Michael Jordan:
I’ve missed more
than 9000 shots in my career. I’ve lost
almost 300 games. 26 times, I’ve been
trusted to take the game-winning shot and missed. I’ve failed over and over and over again in
my life. And that is why I succeed.
Practice L&N
Habits every day: Collaboration, Critical thinking, Design, Innovation,
Inquiry, & Professionalism
