Please know how proud I am to be a CAP this week! Students have done an outstanding job this Spirit Week by donating money and canned
food, participating in Spirit Days, float and skit preparation, and all of our other Homecoming activities we have had. We have had an
excellent week at Broughton and I appreciate that our students can have a fun week and maintain a positive learning environment! I look
