Today is Tuesday, April 11, 2017.

The baseball program is running a Stand Up to Cancer fundraiser to help 3 local families pay for part of their cancer treatments. You can purchase a Stand Up to Cancer card for $3 to represent someone you know whom has been effected by cancer, or you can simply donate to the cause. See Coach Light or Coach Wisneski during lunch to buy a card or make a donation. If we raise $3,000 then Coach Wisneski will shave his head during lunch one afternoon in the courtyard.

Word of the Day

anteriorStep to the Front Word of the Day:The sequence -rior tends to be fairly inconspicuous in English but it holds a vital clue in many cases: many words that end with these four letters are Latin comparatives. Armed with this knowledge, you can look at what remains of the word and take a stab at guessing its meaning. Ante means "before" in space or time, and there you have it: anterior = at the front.
