We are grateful for their service and for the sacrifices that have been made, both by the service men and women as well as by their loved ones.

Follow-up: Student Behavior Concerns and Small-Group Presentations
Two weeks ago, I wrote to you about some student behavior concerns we were having and our plan to schedule small group presentations with all members of the freshman class. Last week, I wrote to share the Freshman Presentation - Fall 2021 with you, which was delivered by me, Ms. Caira (freshman guidance counselor) and Ms. Tobin (Dean of Students), and to let you know we would be adapting that presentation for sophomores. You can view the slides from the Sophomore Presentation - Fall 2021 that was delivered to all sophomores in small group meetings this week by me, upper-class guidance counselors (Mr. Chapman, Mr. Harrison, Ms. Henry, Ms. McFadden, and Ms. Samaha), and Ms. Tobin.
