RECOGNITION
High Tea in AP Lit
Seniors in Dr. Holter’s AP Literature class had the opportunity this week to participate in a traditional English tea party. The students had been busy constructing films revolving around the great Medieval sagas of King Arthur, Robin Hood, and The Canterbury Tales, so on the day the movies were shared with the class, the students watched while nibbling on cookies and learning to brew tea the English way. Overall, everyone enjoyed the amazing films that the students had constructed, and no pinkies were injured in the process of drinking the tea. God save the Queen!

REMINDERS
Middle School/Upper School Carline
Right Lane is for drop off and pick up-Left Lane is for Leaving
All cars MUST pull up to the designated area (on the Student Center side) of the drive thru lane (we will utilize the entire loop). This will enable us to stack many more cars and get them off of the tennis area and JYP/PSAC roadways.
We will only permit drop off and pick up from the right lane. The left lane is for leaving.
The only exception pulling all the way to the designated point would be bad weather days.
Order New Student ID Cards
US students are required to carry their ID card (prox card) at all times. Prox cards are used to enter the building and purchase lunch. Can’t find your card? Click here to order a new prox card.
