· Looking for a fun and unexpected gift for

punch card for your friend or favorite faculty member. If you're someone
who never has cash with you, this might be a perfect gift...for
yourself! From regular coffee and herbal teas to vanilla cappuccino, hot
chocolate, and caramel apple cider, we're sure to have something for everybody!

then drop off cash or check to the attention of the Coffee Nook.
Community & Guidance Ops:
· 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 Babe Ruth:
Every strike brings me closer to the
next home run.
(from your teachers – keep swinging!)
