Weekly Top...: Weekly Top for 12-1-17

Folks,

Staff Party-
It is not too late to join us this evening at Baroda Founders
8963 Hills Rd, Baroda, MI 49101 from 6:30 to 10:00 P.M.

Hour of Code-
December 4th-8th is the 2017 official Hour of Code week! While we are not planning to run a delayed start schedule for all students to participate, offering an "hour of code" event during GO Time next Thursday would be a great extension opportunity for each department to consider. Amy will be sharing out specific lesson ideas and resources from code.org and Google CS First with all teachers next week, but for those who might be interested in exploring the tutorials and possibly offering a session, here is a link to Hour of Code website. We are hopeful several departments will consider offering at least one room for students to try coding activities during GO Time.

Neat Show Monday on WNIT-
Our Town: St. Joseph will air this Monday, December 4th at 8:00 P.M. and again at 9:30 P.M. it features 25 little stories about different things going about St. Joseph. I was at SJHS last evening to see the early debut and it was really a cool show. I think you would enjoy it!
