Hello Parents & Guardians,Happy New Year to everyone! This past week was a short one, so it will be good to have a full week and get into the daily rhythm for a bit (at least until midterm exams!) Reflecting on all the activity prior to break, I’d like thank to all our students, staff, and community for your contributions & efforts with SADD and their care packages to the military, Key Club and the Giving Tree, Student Council and the Tree Lighting Ceremony, and the Faculty/Staff Sunshine Fund for the students. We are also thankful to the Litchfield Police Association for their support for our needy families. Our students and community are fortunate to have this support. We are also very thankful to our Student Council for a terrific breakfast prior to break and to the PTO for bringing Cougar Paw Charms as gifts to students and for their “Hot Chocolate Wagon” as well to staff. We do have a Booster’s Club meeting on Monday night, a PTO meeting on Tuesday evening, and Coffee with the Administration on Wednesday morning at 7:00. Have a great week everyone! Bill Lonergan, Principal
