Mrs. Phelps, her mother (who provided those decedant brownies), and the kitchen staff helped pull off a really nice treat for a lot of hard work!
The middle school and high school teachers enjoyed a carry in on Friday and got to spend some extra time together! A big thanks goes out to Mr. McGill and Mr. Johnson for helping cover student lunches so teachers could enjoy each other’s company!

As if Choir isn’t enough fun, middle school Choir students earned their dessert carry-in by earning all of their tally marks for great behavior! There was a chocolate fondue station, brownies, cupcakes, cookies, soda and fruit (but let’s be honest, it was getting dipped in that delectable chocolate fountain). They watched a bit of Ice Age, enjoyed the great snacks and company. They earned it!

As always, we appreciate how our community always rallies in support of our students! Thank you for spending your evening with us!

Urbana University and The Alicia Titus Memorial Peace Fund are sponsoring a program for students and of all ages to navigate technology, social, and psychological issues of our time. The program is built on the idea that peace, like math and reading, require a skill set that needs taught. Additionally, the program will go over coping skills for trauma and the human condition while providing tools that can be applied to every aspect of life. More details are in the attached flyer.
Alicia Titus was a flight attendant on the plane that struck the World Trade Tower on 9/11. She was a graduate of Graham and her family still resides in the Champaign County community. Her parents have worked diligently to honor Alicia by promoting efforts of peace and kindness. The Peace Literacy Training is an extension of their ‘Season of Nonviolence’ efforts.
