Dear Secondary School Families:
An important reminder that Adirondack School Portraits will be returning for picture makeup day on Monday, November 20. Please bring in your original prints if you would like a retake. The temperatures are moderating a bit as we approach the weekend. This is terrific news for everyone who is participating in the polar plunge in Lake George tomorrow; the water temperature there is a “cool” 47 degrees. Over $5,000 have been raised to date to support the Special Olympics (and in turn our unified basketball and bowling teams). Thank you to our Youth Activation Committee and Mrs. Patty Lydon for all of their work in support of this incredible event! If you are still interested in donating please use the following link.
