Hey Sophomores! The winter social is
here! At popular request the social will be....ICE SKATING this Saturday, December 3 from 7:00-10:00pm at the Ice Chalet on
Kingston Pike. There is a $6 entrance fee and $6 skate rental fee. You also may
want to bring some extra money if you plan on grabbing something from the
concession stand. Even if you are not a fan of skating, we would still love to
see you; come hang out with your friends by the fireplace and play some games!
We hope to see many of you Saturday night!

Community
& Guidance Ops:
· From your counselors: Sometimes it’s just not possible to sort
through tough times alone. Problems can build up and you may lose sleep
or find it hard to concentrate on your school work. When you need to talk
to someone, your school counselor can be a great place to start.
School counselors are trained to take your problem
seriously, listen, and help — it doesn’t have to be just about school stuff.
A counselor can help you deal with the sadness of when someone has died
as well as advise you on taking the right classes to get into your dream
college.
Please
remember to first check in with your teacher before going to the school
counseling office if you are having an emergency. If you would like to
have a meeting about a non-urgent matter, email your school counselor to set up
a time that works for both of you. Know that you always have a safe place
to talk, draw, or just have someone sit quietly near you while you process on
your own.
Quote
of the day from Mark Twain:
Do not go around saying the world
owes you a living. The world owes you
nothing. It was here first.
