2. Beginning next Monday, students and parents will be able to receive daily announcements through their electronic devices. Announcements may be accessed by way of blog, RSS Feed, email or twitter. Please check your student email for more details. Since we will be phasing out 2nd period announcements over the PA, students will be permitted to access their devices during lunch in the commons. Phones may only be checked in the commons during lunch – not in the classrooms, hallways, etc. For a tutorial on receiving the announcements online, see this video.

All 3 Girls’ relay pool records were smashed by Rebecca Adams, Lindsey Serraino, Mackenzie Shelley, Claire Mongenas and Claire Gilmore. The 200 Medley Relay of Shelley, Mongenas, Gilmore and Adams also broke the Varsity record. Other incredible time drops were turned in by Julia Gaburo, Ben Gorman, Luke Porst, Mara Coyan, Ingrid Mongenas, Maddie Richards, Emmett Saulnier, Audrey Helmrich, Mackenzie Kaschalck, Jennifer Saxton, Haley Schooler and Makayla Valentine. Special mention to our two boy divers, Hans Heinbaugh and McKinnon Pennell, on their first meet. Good luck this weekend as the Warriors compete in the CHL Championships here on Saturday.
