Salutes:

• Opportunity for students to improve grades on Friday, Jan. 13; otherwise, they can sleep in and enjoy a rare four-day weekend.
• Showchoir season kicks off, as the traditional coveted buttons are distributed around the school.

Slams:

• Senior students were irritated at being pulled into Champion time on Jan. 2 and left to gather dust with no communicated reason to attend.
• Reduced winter break cuts sleep schedules short, and disappoints students in need of rest and relaxation.
• Technology has been acting up, logging kids off, slowing down Wi-Fi, and strange buzzing via P.A. system.
