Holiday Amnesty from IT

In the spirit of the holidays, the IT Department will be offering amnesty to all students who bring in broken devices for exchange before the end of the year.

There will be no charges applied for broken devices returned to the IT Department between December 13th-30th. Family members can bring these devices to the CITT during open hours.

Graphic Communications & Business Classes Annual Holiday Sale

The Graphic Communications & Business classes are having their annual Holiday Sale. This year we have an awesome new machine, a GlowForge, which allowed us to come up with 2 awesome Olmsted items to offer this year.

We have created an Olmsted Ornament ($5) and an Olmsted Phone Stand ($10). Please see the attached flyer for more sale details and picture.

We need orders in by 12/19 so we can package and deliver to homerooms on 12/20-12/23! Order in room 413 with myself or Mr. Benham.

Thank you for your support and this sale allows the GC&B classes to earn 54 hours of work based learning towards their CDOS requirement.
