Artists and interested students: Cooper Hewitt, Smithsonian Design Museum has teamed up with Target for the third annual National High School Design Competition, challenging teens around the country to make the everyday-place, process, or object-accessible for all! It's a design challenge that welcomes great ideas from students with all interests from art and design to civics and community engagement. See either Mr. Vieira in A-3 or Mrs. K in A-9 for flyers or more information. Please visit the website, where you'll find education resources to inspire and give you ideas.   https://www.cooperhewitt.org/design-competition/

Due to the weather becoming colder we will be allowing students to wear beanies and headbands. Please remember they must be free of logos or decorations. The only logo that will be allowed will be our school logo. The beanies must be a single color white, black, grey, brown, tan or gold. This flexibility only applies to protection from the cold, not for hats. They may only be worn outdoors.
