As part of our Let’s Freeze Out the Hurt at QMS we will consider a daily thought to help us better understand more about kindness and respect. Today’s thought is this: “The beauty of anti-racism is that we don't have to pretend to be free of racism to be anti-racist. Anti-racism is the commitment to fight racism wherever we find it, including in ourselves. It is the only way forward.” Please take some time to reflect on this today.

Sports:

The Girls' Softball team will practice today from 3-4. We will keep an eye on weather and make a decision by early afternoon as to whether we will hold practice after school.

Good luck to the Varsity Volleyball teams as they finish off the regular season with away games today. The Varsity Girls travel to HMMS and the Varsity Boys travel to SMS.
