BLAST Day Friday Dec. 18

Be Loving And Sharing Together BLAST -- Yes, it is a regular school day. Yes, it is very different. All six periods will operate in the morning and they are about 30 minutes in length.

It is the last day before the winter break. If you have a family travel obligation, call in the absence as you would any day of the year. Yes, we understand there are some quizzes and other things happening on those day also.

The tradition of community service started years ago. This year's theme is the Horn of Africa. the American Relief fund is the vehicle to provide the support. The goal is to provide the financial means to dig wells in drought areas. Water is our most precious need. For many it is a matter of water and life.

Yes, it is a different kind of day. The idea is to have fun, support a worthy cause and get ready for break. The afternoon is the fun time with movies, dance program and a gym full of air filled things.

Thank you for making the last day before break one of fun, learning and service. You know high school kids well, and you know too much on that day would be futile - you create great balance for our kids and I appreciate it!
