Happy long weekend, Gryphons! As a reminder, there is no school tomorrow due to conferences. We hope you get a chance to play in the snow like our School of Grammar Gryphons did today. ☃️

If you're joining us this evening for in-person conferences, the Used Uniform Sale, the Book Fair, or Senior Night, please be careful on your drive here. Yesterday, School of Rhetoric students showed citizenship by joining together to help push cars through as they got stuck in the snow on Bren Road (last picture!). 🚗 #GoGryphons

Battle of the Coins began this morning and will run through Friday! 💰 Currently, Kindergarten is in first place, but there's still time to shake things up. Battle of the Coins is a fun, competitive fundraiser ran by the ERA PTO where grades compete to earn the most points and win a special reward. Pennies, nickels, dimes, quarters, and online donations add points to your grade's total, while dollar bills subtract from another grade’s total. Online donations count DOUBLE, so be sure to label your student’s grade when donating!

Coins will only be collected from 7:30-7:55 a.m. at the Forum fireplace (School of Grammar) and outside the Auditorium (School of Logic & Rhetoric). No coins can be dropped off in classrooms. All proceeds support celebrating ERA’s amazing staff during Staff Appreciation Week! 👩🏻‍🏫 #GoGryphons
