Weekly Updates

Last Friday, we welcomed At the Table with Dr. King, a live performance that brought the Civil Rights Movement to life and encouraged students to think creatively about service and leadership. Click here for more photos.

Spirit Week
Next week, the students will participate in Spirit Week from Wednesday, February 12 through Friday, February 14. Our Garnet & Grey captains have worked together to develop themes for each of the three days: 

• Wednesday, February 12: Dress as a Teacher Day
• Thursday, February 13: Career Day
• Friday, February 14: Red, Pink, and White

Students are still required to wear athletic shoes and follow the dress-down expectations in the Student-Parent/Guardian Handbook.

Winterim Reminders
As we approach Winterim in a couple of weeks, the faculty have been holding meetings with the students to preview the experiences and set expectations. Whether your child is traveling on a Winterim experience or staying local, you should have received release forms and waivers through MyPG. If you have not completed the release forms or waivers, please take a moment to complete it as soon as possible. 

In addition, the following required forms are due to Mr. Weaver no later than Monday, February 10.
