The Friday Memo

Happy Friday!

I hope you had a wonderful week!

Here are just a couple of announcements:

1. We will be having a combined middle school/upper school chapel service Wednesday, January 21.  In order to accommodate our new lunch program, we will be having this service immediately following first period.  Chapel should run from 8:50-9:30 after which we will proceed with homeroom and second period.  Beginning in February, every other chapel service will be divided, with middle school students having a separate chapel service.

2. Lesson plans will be due beginning January 20.  The first group scheduled to submit plans will be the 6th grade and fine arts teachers.  Please make sure that you have your plans in the box that will be provided in the copy room before leaving for the day.  If you have any questions, please don't hesitate to ask.

3. Feel free to show Tuesday's inauguration ceremonies on your Smart Board.  CNN has particularly good audio and video streaming and will be broadcasting everything live.  Keep in mind that coverage will begin before the actual swearing-in ceremony (at 11:00 our time) and will last all afternoon.  Eighth grade teachers may want to show even just a few minutes and give the kids a taste of DC before we go in a couple of weeks.

Enjoy your long weekend!  See you Tuesday!
