Happy Monday morning and Happy Holidays,
Our student leaders have been organizing and leading our school’s fundraiser this year to support our Make-a-wish fundraising drive. We will be having an assembly this Wednesday, the 18th, to celebrate our students and community efforts in reaching our goal. If this goal is met, we will celebrate with the opportunity for our students to have an hour long lunch this Thursday, the 19th.
As this is our last week of school before Winter recess, we wish all of you a very happy holidays. We will resume school on Monday, January 6. Second semester will end on Thursday, January 16.
Here are several useful pieces of information about Alta this week:
