As you know for the past 10 weeks, NHA has been hosting a 10 Week Attendance Challenge (see the qualifications below).
Congratulations Keystone! Based on the following information, we had the greatest improvement in attendance out of all 100 schools and we are the grand prize winners.
Once the grand prize money has been allocated, we will vote as a team on how we want to spend it!
MEEMIC will be
providing us with a coffee truck on Wednesday. Please come to the lounge
between 7-9 AM to get a hot beverage. If you don’t have prep before 9AM, please
make sure you get here early enough to get your beverage before 7:40. We don’t
have anyone who can “deliver” beverages to classrooms.
