Today is Thursday, February 11th an A Day.

Today’s Black History Month highlight is Maya Angelou. Angelou was an American poet, memoirist, and Civil Rights Activist. She published seven autobiographies, three books of essays, several books of poetry, and is credited with a list of plays, movies, and television shows spanning over 50 years. She received dozens of awards and more than 50 honorary degrees. Angelou is best known for her series of seven autobiographies, which focus on her childhood and early adult experiences. The first, I Know Why the Caged Bird Sings (1969), tells of her life up to the age of 17 and brought her international recognition and acclaim.

Students who are interested in purchasing a Yearbook for the 2020-21 school year can do so now at the lunch window with Mrs. Baron. Yearbooks are $15. The last day to purchase a yearbook is March 31. See Mrs. Cahill in the library with questions!

Even though the Governor lifted restrictions on the amount of people in attendance at events, we will not change our restrictions here at Peet or at Holmes. Attendance at our events is still limited to 2 Family members, plus any sibling of the athlete that lives in the household. Students are still not allowed to attend.

Today’s lunch will be: Breaded Chicken Sandwich, BBQ Beef Bites, Oven Fries, Baked Beans, Banana, and Apple Slices. 

Happy birthday to: Annabel Anderson!
