All puns aside, the school’s Lost & Found is at capacity. We have PE clothes, fleeces, hoodies, water bottles, lunch boxes, shoes, and more -- Why buy new when you can reclaim? Please sift through the racks located outside of the auditorium to locate and pick up your items by January 13, 2023. If items are not claimed by this date, clothing will be laundered and added to the Uniform Exchange, and the rest will be donated. Thank you for your help!

To the many, many parent and alumni volunteers, thank you for the best return to our Feast tradition we could have imagined! To everyone who helped our students prep side dishes, to everyone who baked a turkey (or two), to everyone who helped with setting up and serving, to everyone who helped clean up, thank you from the bottom of our hearts. Also, a special and huge thank you to our Thanksgiving Feast co-chairs, Caitlin Jacob and Sharareh Tajbakhsh, who spent months coordinating this magical tradition. THANK YOU, ALL!
