Classical School Appleton

Last week we congratulated two Classical students that received first and second place in the Patriot's Pen Essay Contest at the local level. Well, this weekend our first place winner received word that he had won second place at state for his essay! Congratulations, Aryan...we are so proud of you!

Monday, February 9th, Classical Student Council will kick off the Hearts for the Homeless Campaign! Students will be able to purchase paper hearts during lunch time for $1.00 each. All proceeds will be donated to the Help for the Homeless Hygiene Drive. For the past few years, we have raised more than $1,200. Let's keep that streak going! Thank you in advance for your generosity.
