Dear TA Families, We wrapped up Student Appreciation Week on Friday afternoon with a Panther Party. It was the perfect weather for outdoor activities, including a cookout lunch, volleyball on the quad, an epic hopscotch obstacle course, disc golf on the new course, good old four-square, a cotton candy station, and a huge water slide. We hope students enjoyed the special activities each day, starting on Monday with assembly on the front lawn featuring a few special (large!) four-legged guests, Matthew Whitney's steer and Chenoweth Donohue's horse!
