This week is our last week before the holiday break. Please go to our website for the athletic schedule if you are interested in attending any events this month to cheer on the Gulls. Our winter band and chorus concert is Thursday, December 19th, at 7 PM. We hope to see all of you here! 

Student Supply Closet

We are pleased to announce that we now have a student supply closet at the High School! St. Margaret’s Church, IRepair, Landry’s as well as some community members have made generous donations to get us started. The closet contains pantry items, toiletries, feminine hygiene products, gently used clothes, new socks, phone cases, snacks, zoom bus passes and some gift cards. A big thank you to the students in the Life Skills room for cleaning out/setting up the closet as well as David Anderson, who is making a wooden sign in Industrial Design to hang on the outside door. When the closet gets low on items, students from Functional Life Skills will make lists, shop and restock the closet using donated gift cards. We are in need of hats, mittens, gloves, gently used jackets and boots. If you are able to donate any of these items please send them with your student to drop off with Mrs. Dupee in room 106. Gift cards in any amountto Hannaford, Landry’s or Walmart would also be greatly appreciated. Any student is able to access the closet.
