Following the conference, members visited 5 Wits, where they worked together in escape-room challenges that required teamwork, communication, and problem-solving—putting their newly learned leadership skills into action. Students agreed the experience was fun, engaging, and a great way to apply leadership concepts in a hands-on setting.
Thank you to advisor Mrs. Somers for sharing!!

As cold temperatures continue, we want to remind families that student safety remains our top priority. With wind chills reaching dangerously low levels, frostbite and hypothermia can occur in a matter of minutes. We will continue to limit students’ time outdoors during arrival, dismissal, and bus transitions whenever possible.
Please ensure your student is dressed appropriately for the weather:
Layers (long sleeves, sweaters, fleece-lined pants, and a warm winter coat)
Hat and gloves or mittens
Warm socks and insulated or waterproof boots
Face covering or neck gaiter for wind protection (removed once indoors)
Bus riders
Although buses are heated, frequent door openings make it difficult to maintain warmth. Full winter gear is essential.
Students being driven
Please bundle students appropriately, as cold exposure can happen quickly during drop-off and pick-up.
Student drivers
Park in the section of the student lot closest to the building and limit time outdoors.
Late buses
Parents/guardians meeting the 4:00 PM or 5:15 PM late buses should arrive prior to drop-off to help keep routes on schedule.
If your student needs warm clothing or winter gear, please contact their counselor to arrange a visit to the Care Closet.
Thank you for your continued support in keeping all students safe and warm.
