Thursday's Announcements Day 1

Thursday,  November 17, 2016  Day 1

The past couple of years the PTA have asked students to sell Yankee Candle items in order to raise money.  This year we have decided to do a 'No Frills' fundraiser.  Many of you may be familiar with this idea.  Instead of asking families to buy and sell items, we are looking for families to simply make a donation.  Please click here for the details.  As with any fundraiser, we thank you very much for your support!

The Fall Sports Season is over.  Please help your student-athlete to return all uniforms.

Basketball season begins today, here is the practice schedule:
2:30-3:45            7th Boys
3:45-5                 7th Girls

6:15-7:30            8th Boys

Other winter sports such as Swimming and Indoor Track will begin in February.

Homework Club  runs from 2:30-3:30 on Mondays, Tuesdays and Wednesdays.  Homework club is an opportunity for students to stay after school to get help from staff members.  Each day there are 2 adult to supervise and support students.  Please note that only students who plan on using this time productively are welcome.

Would you like to set up a lunch account for your student?  Does your student need more money on his/her account?  Head to myschoolbucks.com to take care of this!
