Culture Day

On Thursday, December 8th, we are having a whole school culture day!

Instead of classes, we will be having our Trimester 1 Awards Ceremony, our field trip to Skate City, and more fun whole school activities.

We want to invite all of our families to come to campus for our End of Tri Awards Ceremony! The event will take place from 8:15am- 9:15am in the high school gym. All families are welcome to bring as many family members as you would like, and we hope your student is celebrated at the ceremony! 

Please also be sure to sign your student’s permission slip for the field trip to Skate City; without a signed slip, students will not be permitted to attend the field trip and will be asked to get picked up from school.

If you have any questions regarding our whole school culture day next Thursday, 12/8, please reach out to Rob Castanzo at robert.castanzo@scienceandtech.org
