The holiday season is almost here, and we’re kicking things off with 10 Days of School-mas! We invite all students, staff, and families to join in on the fun as we celebrate with festive mini spirit days leading up to winter break.
Each day will have its own theme, and we encourage everyone to participate, show their school spirit, and share a little extra magic throughout our halls.
Let’s make this season bright and memorable together!

REMINDER! Student Council is hosting a blood drive tomorrow, December 3rd! If you are 16 or older, you can donate blood & help save a life!
You can sign up using the QR codes that are on the flyers around the school, by visiting Ms. Doan, or by using this link: https://www.redcrossblood.org/give.html/drive-results?zipSponsor=snewhs.
Students who are 16 will need a signed permission slip (17-year-olds & older do not need one). Those can be found in Ms. Doan's or Mrs. Kindig's rooms.
Student donors need a form of ID with their name, photo, and birthday. If you do not have that, Mrs. Kindig or Ms. Doan can help you out.
Student donors should eat real food (like a protein!) and DRINK WATER in preparation for donating! You will feel a LOT better and have a much smoother donation if you do those things.
If you have any questions, please see Mrs. Kindig or Ms. Doan.
