Challenge Day Momentum - Continuing with our "Challenge Day" momentum we most recently welcomed students back for the second semester with "Welcome Back Wednesday (which was Thursday because of the snow day)" where teachers were in specific locations welcoming our students back. I had positive bullhorn shout-outs in the main entrance, and know several teachers sported instruments, music, and karaoke!! Let's make it a great second semester! I encourage anyone to access the Challenge Day website to learn more about it. https://www.challengeday.org/
