PLEDGE & MOMENT OF SILENCE
Attention
all you writers, poets and artists! Entries for the literary magazine are
slowly trickling in but we need your work to make this happen this
year. Please consider submitting your poetry, short stories, art
work and even nonfiction pieces to the magazine for consideration. The
more pieces we have, the better the magazine. The envelopes along with
submission forms are in your English classrooms and the library. Fill out
a submission form and submit your work now!
Also,
any entries for the cover of Hoof Notes must be submitted by Friday before we
leave for the holidays! We’ve had several submitted already, but are
hoping for more. All you artists and graphic designers, please consider
submitting for our cover this year! Never think, I won’t win, because you
have a chance and there’s a $50.00 gift certificate to Meadowood Mall along
with the win! See Ms. Servilican in room 214 for more information.
Hey
Damonte! It’s not too late to join the bowling team. Any level or
ability is welcome. We practice on Mondays and have matches on
Wednesdays. For more information please see Ms. Wallace in the
bookkeeping office.
It’s
the moment you’ve all been waiting for! Dancing With The Staff is this
Friday, December 13 at 7 p.m. in the theater. Ticket price is $8 per
seat. Each paid admission gives you one voting ticket to choose this
year’s dance champion. Come out and see your favorite teachers and peers dance
the night away including many new comers! Presale tickets go on sale on Monday,
December 9 from Coach Bauman or any dance team member. Pre-sale tickets
get you in early so buy yours early! See you on Friday!
Enjoy
a night off from cooking and head
over to Qdoba Mexican Grill in the Walmart Center on Wednesday, December
11th. When you place your order between 2:00 pm and 9:00 pm, either show
the cashier this email or let them know you want Damonte Ranch High School to
receive fundraising credit for your purchase. This is a delicious way to
raise money for DRHS and you can either dine in or take out! Qdoba
Mexican Grill will donate 20% of your purchase to Damonte and all money raised

Attention
Students:
The
library has a new policy that all students must sign in and out of the library
during class and I. C. If you have any questions, please see Mrs.
McRoberts.
Damonte, can you imagine going to bed hungry each
night, knowing that the next morning you still may not
have any food? FCA and ROTC are partnering together for a canned food
drive. Last year, we competed against schools across our district, and we
brought in 1500 pounds of food, which was enough for first place. This
year, our goal is 2000 pounds of canned food. You can help out by
bringing canned food or other non-perishable items to your first period class,
and members of FCA and ROTC will come and pick them up. The drive goes
from Dec 3 to Dec 17th. Thanks Damonte, for helping out those
who have less than you do.
The 2013-2014 Student Speakers
Contest sponsored by the Lions Club is
seeking students, grades 9 through 12, who excel in public speaking to enter
their contest. Scholarship awards are granted to those winners.
This year’s topic: Electoral College: Passé or Good for the
Country. If you would like more information about this contest please
stop by the Career Center.
THE MAIN OFFICE STILL HAS OPENINGS LEFT in 5th & 6th
periods, for responsible students with very good attendance, to be Office Aides
for 2nd Semester. If you are
interested, please see Mrs. Kenyon in the Main Office.
