Principal's Message
Today is Monday, December 12, 2022.
Our World Language department hosted their final “World Cup Mania” event on Friday, with sandwiches, baguettes, and Bueche de noel. The competition continues though, so be on the lookout for our students and staff that end up with winning brackets as competition ends next week!
Our Instrumental Music program hosted their winter concert last Thursday evening, and our Off the Wall hosted Tartuffe on Thursday and Friday. Tomorrow night, at 7 PM, our Unified Arts program will be performing its annual production of “A Christmas Carol.” Please join us at 7PM. Be sure to purchase tickets for Monday, December 19th to hear our choir perform at The Bridge as well.
Our athletic signing day is this week on the 14th in the stadium at snack. Photos and recognition will be included in next week’s newsletter.
This week is our Winter Spirit Week. ASB is hosting a canned food drive all week, and each day has a dress up theme. Be sure to come out and show your spirit!
I would like to congratulate the three THHS students that successfully completed the STEAM Race to Space Reading Challenge: Logan Fulford, Anum Ghulamali, and Madelyn Perez. Thank you for participating this year, and I hope you enjoy your prize pack.
With only a week before semester finals, we hope students are able to finish this fall semester strong!
Have a wonderful week,
Ms. Alicia Foulk
Principal
