GENERAL ANNOUNCEMENTS
October 13: On PSAT day, which is the Wednesday after break, all sophomores and juniors will be taking the PSAT. Freshmen and seniors will have classes as usual. Due to Covid, seniors will not be doing job shadowing, college visits, etc., as seniors have done in the past on PSAT day.
Homecoming week is this week! Since we are not doing Class Clash this year, we have a few other competitions we will be doing! One of these will be a coin competition. There will be four buckets in the library, one for each grade. Silver coins are +1 and copper coins are -1. Use the copper coins to sabotage other grades. We will also be doing a food drive. The buckets for this will be outside of the library! We will count each of the nonperishable items as 1 point. The winner of homecoming week will be announced on Friday 10/1.
Dress-up Days for Homecoming: Dressing up will help your class receive points! All outfits must follow dress code with the exception of wearing hats on Tuesday.
Friday: School spirit (Homecoming shirts)
If you paid for a homecoming shirt and have not picked it up, you may do so today in Miss Brookman’s room.
