Senior Commitments We have our first group of seniors who have finalized their plans for what they will be doing following graduation. As we get more student commitments, we will continue to post their exciting news. Congratulations to Corina, Daniel, and Mya!

Last week, students from Annville-Cleona High School toured the Grocery Outlet store in Palmyra, as a meet and greet. We are excited to share that our students will engage in work experiences at Grocery Outlet, helping to develop work skills in the community setting!

On Friday night from 7pm-7am Saturday morning, nearly 200 high school students will be participating in the overnight Mini-Thon to help raise money for Four Diamonds. In its 26th year, the event is making its return to an all-night event, and this is the first time A-C is able to livestream the entire 12-hours! The livestream feed will be available on A-C's DonorDrive page (link below), and we are the first high school to embark on this endeavor for Donor Drive! The livestream will of course feature live events as they take place including the kick off presentation, the talent show, and the faculty vs. student basketball game. However, it will also feature pre-recorded family story videos, interviews with the committee and advisors throughout the night, and other fun surprises. https://fourdiamonds.donordrive.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=donorDrive.event&eventID=4016

Important Reminders: 1. Secondary School Traffic Flow Discussion 2. Snow Make-Up Days

This morning we started Book Club for 3rd-4th Graders. We are reading book 2 in the Fenway series-- Fenway and the Evil Bunny Gang. Love when I can start my day reading with students!
