Secret Santa will start on December 12th, and the last day will be December 16th.You put the gift in the student’s locker, and you should give and should receive a gift each day. If you don't receive a gift by 6th period each day please come see Mrs.Pittman or Stuco officers (Selene Duarte,Adrian Chavez,Isacc Ramos,and Irene Granado). The identity of the gift giver is to remain a secret and should not be revealed until the last day(16th).The limit for each day is $20.
Please look closely at the schedule changes that will occur December 14-16 for finals. We will have a regular start time on the 14th and 15th at 7:55 am, but have an early lunch from 11:05-12:05 and early release at 2:30 for Dirks Anderson/2:35 for the HS/JH.
