Good Morning Everyone!
I hope you have had a great start to trimester 2. To help you do your best, please take advantage of the fabulous peer tutoring that is available every day. Now that the schedule has been revised based on student schedule changes, our trimester 2 schedule is set. Here is what that means to you: if period F is your free period, for example, then you can schedule yourself to go to the Math Resource Center (1st floor of the Schoolhouse next door to Mrs. Choo’s office) every week during period F on Monday and/or during period F on Thursday. Nan and Loren will be there every Monday, and Nick will be there every Thursday. You can count on them!
Make sure to get to Reed and sign up outside the Activities Office for a spot to perform!

Hello!
For those registered to take the SAT this Saturday, please read on. If you are taking the Regular SAT Reasoning test, you should report to the Athletic Center by 8 a.m. at the latest. If you are taking subject tests, you should report to the college counseling building by 7:45 a.m. at the latest.
Everyone must have their admission ticket, Williston ID, and two already sharpened number 2 pencils. Bring water and a snack with you to have during breaks. Please let your Saturday teachers know ahead of time that you will not be in class that day.
Later today, there will be a roster of who is registered to take the SAT at the front desk of the Schoolhouse just in case you need to check if you are registered. The dining hall will have a hot breakfast ready by 7:15 a.m., so go and have a hearty breakfast ahead of time. Here is a link that will tell you everything you need to know about test day.
Thanks and good luck!

Some of you may not know that in addition to being great teachers, smart people and sharp dressers your visual arts faculty are also working artists. What does this mean? It means that when not teaching they can often be found making art. This also means that as art teachers they not only talk the talk, but walk the walk as well. As art teachers we know that teaching and making art are mutually inspirational and result in excellence all around!
What kind of art do they make? Stop by the Grubbs Gallery to see the 2013 Williston Visual Art Faculty Exhibit which will open on Thursday, Dec. 5 and be on view until January 6th. See work by Mr. Hing, Ms. White, Ms. Chambers, Ms. Verdickt, Ms. Goldstein and Ms. Hume! The artists’ reception will be on Sunday, Dec. 15th from 2-4, so stop by to support your teachers!
Thanks Williston!

Hey Everyone!
The Class of 2014 is doing a holiday card drive for troops again this year!
Starting today at lunch there will be a table with blank holiday cards in which you can write messages to soldiers stationed overseas during the holidays. We have done this for the past two years and have gotten great results and lots of positive feedback! The table will be there today through Friday so please send thanks again this year!
This is a really easy and nice way to give back a little during the holiday season and it would be great if you would all take the time today, Wednesday, Thursday, or Friday to just write a brief message.
Thank you in advance!
Madeleine Stern
