Well, really it’s Enchilada Tuesday, but that just doesn’t have the same ring as Taco Tuesday! 😉

 

Gabe Sacks displayed RESPECT when he cleaned a mess in a classroom that he did not make.

Gray Bokas, Zac Burton, Tyce Evins, Yana Kramar, Lucas Lopez, Walker O’Brien, Matheos Papazian, Beau Posthauer, and Walker Yow showed KINDNESS by giving up some of their free time to help Dean B set up (and then reset!) Foundation Hall for a class meeting and AP testing. THANK YOU!

Henry Garrison, Daniel Harley, Maggie Murphy, Avi Pandey, Lauren Schattner, Evertt Wells, Emma Westgarth-Taylor, and Mia Valencia all demonstrated KINDNESS and TEAMWORK by presenting to the c/o 2028 and sharing their well-earned wisdom on succeeding in 11th grade.
