After discussions with Peetz this morning, we have decided to move the start time of the basketball games today to 3:00 pm. The girls will be playing in the big gym and the boys will play in the small gym at the same time today. This will allow us to get back to the school much earlier today. There has been much more snow in Peetz over the past couple of weeks and both schools feel that this is the best way to get the games in and get everyone home safely today. Students will be excused from class at 12:50 and the bus will leave at 1:00.
Thanks
International Travelers! I'm very excited for our trip to England and France. June of 2024 will be here before you know it. We have 19 travelers going on the trip as of now, but there is still room for more. Since we have so many people going, this will be a private tour. If you have questions about the trip please reach out to me at mschmeeckle@weldonvalley.org One of the places we'll be visiting is the Hall of Mirrors at Versailles. My students should know this location from our study of the American Revolution and the work of our founding fathers in securing the help of the French.
If you are looking for more information about our trip or you'd like to sign up, please refer to the link I have provided. There is still an early signup discount available.
