Winter Is On Its Way!

Boy, did the temperature DROP this weekend—Brrrr!! Despite the change in temperature, here's hoping everyone's Thanksgivings were fun and full of food, friendship, and family. So now begins the countdown to winter vacation—only three weeks away, and then we hunker down to prepare for winter's cold and busy end-of-year preparations. But before we get too fixated on the end of the month/year, here's what's going on this week and later this month that you'll want to keep your eyes on. See below for these upcoming events and activities.

We would also like to acknowledge this Wednesday, December 3, as the United Nations' International Day of Persons with Disabilities for all our beloved ROCK STAR STUDENTS who light up our lives with their out of this world amazing-ness!

The theme for this year's IDPD is: “Fostering disability-inclusive societies for advancing social progress.” According to the UN, "[t]his year’s observance builds directly on the momentum of the Second World Summit for Social Development, held in Doha in 4-6 November 2025, where world leaders reaffirmed their commitment to building a just, inclusive and equitable world."
