If you signed your student up for the Jolly Jamboree on Sunday, December 14th, it has been cancelled due the forecasted weather.

Please note the following schedule changes due to the expected weather tomorrow: Varsity Girls Basketball games at Monmouth United are postponed with anew date to be determined later. Freshmen Boys Basketball at Monmouth-Roseville has been moved to Monday night at 5:30 PM and will be played at Monmouth High School.

This week, our second graders read The Gift of Words by Peter Reynolds, a beautiful story about how positive words can brighten someone’s day. Inspired by the book, students created their own uplifting messages—kind wishes, encouraging phrases, and positive thoughts—each written on a special tag. Just like in the story, they hung their tags on our Christmas trees.

The tree is now filled with encouraging words that remind us to support one another, spread kindness, and let our voices lift others up. It’s a wonderful way to celebrate the season and the power of thoughtful words!

Please Note: The JV and Varsity Boys Basketball games in Abington tonight have been postponed. No new date has been determined at this time. More information to follow once that has been decided.

Please Note: Tomorrow's JH Boys Fulton County Tournament game has been cancelled. The new format will be that we play Monday night at 7:30 PM vs. Havana at Canton Ingersoll. Here is the address.:
