Now that the "brrrrr" months are truly upon us, Tom’s Hot Chocolate will be making cozy treats available for our students to purchase in place of Kona Ice on the following dates: November 21, December 17, January 30, and February 27. The cost of the treats is $3 and you can pre-order using the QR Code in the attached flyer; alternatively, you can also send in $3 cash on the day of Tom's visit. A special consideration for our youngest Knights: Tom’s team has assured us that, with three ice cubes and lids, the temperature is safe for them to enjoy, too!

Yesterday we shared a family resource - ProTech - that you may consider checking out to help ensure your child's online safety. Here is an example of some of the information ProTech can provide to support you in making decisions regarding technology for your child.
