ACTION ITEMS
- No New Homework over Break: We will be asking our kiddos to try for zero screens over break.

So please be aware of what work you are setting or the assignments that might be due the first week back. Thank you!

- Following a quick reminder about the Food Drive (Green House is bringing canned proteins), students will find the rest of their House family by locating the numbered gallon Ziplock bag (numbered in order 1-30) around the Commons. (Rain plan is to meet in the covered area by the Cafeteria instead.)
- Each bag will include 1 larger Green rock, smaller rocks for each family member, a discussion questions card, and various paint pens.
- Families will be given time to decorate their rocks as they see fit to eventually be added to a community rock garden.
- If time allows, each family will revisit their handshake and begin brainstorming a whole Green House chant.

- The monthly Memo went out today and in it, I mentioned the surveys students will take this coming week and how we are looking at formalizing student reflections on their courses. Please don't worry about these and know that we will work on the questions and format of this in the coming weeks during the faculty meetings. Your input will be essential.
- St. Leo's Food Drive runs until Nov 18th if you would like to support and add your donations.
