    We have reached the part of the year where many activities and sports teams will be either leaving early or not at school at all. Students, you are still responsible for keeping up with their academics. Make sure you get missed assignments from teachers and make sure you work with them to make up tests and quizzes.

     

    Starting today until May 12, the office will be closely looking at attendance and prizes can be won if students have a certain attendance percentage. Students with:

     

    100% - Entered in the drawing first and has a higher chance of winning a large prize.

     

    90% - Entered in the drawing second to win a large prize.

     

    All students who meet the 90% criteria will receive a prize/incentive. Students who are gone because of school-related events will not count against their percentage.

     

    On Friday, March 31st, Red Cross will be providing lunch for the StuCo members that worked and all students that signed up for the blood drive. More info will be shared closer to that date.

     

    Mariah Felten, Makenzie Felten, Whitley Sunderland, Payton Kindle, Preslee Sunderland, Hanah Quint, and Madi Lawson (bag only) - Turn all your softball stuff in to Coach James ASAP. If he doesn’t receive these things, a fine/fee will be assessed to your school account.
