Dear Secondary School families,
Though we are looking at a shorter week, there's been quite a lot of fun and meaningful activities, either undergoing or coming our way. Please take a moment to go through this week's updates (shared below).
PTA Inclusive Valentine's Day Festivities
Big thanks to the hardworking and thoughtful PTA team for brightening up our Friday spirits last week - in honor of Valentine's, our community got to partake in celebrating Palentine's and Galentine's, with shout-outs to besties, teammates, study partners, sisters, friends, family. "Spread the Love" photo booth was a delight to have in our USS Auditorium, its gifts enjoyed by many. Here's to a festive season ahead.
