Band students will be selling snacks at lunch Wednesday and Thursday outside of the band room.

 Literary Club, we will NOT be meeting this week.  I repeat, will NOT be meeting this week.

Attention students!  What is up with the apathy this year?  Last year by this time, Hoof Notes literary magazine had a ton of entries.  This year, we are afraid we may not have a publication if the student writers, artists, dramatists, and creators do not step up and submit.  We thank those of you who have already submitted, but we need many more submissions to publish our magazine.  Pick up a submission sheet in any English classroom, the library, or art hallway.  Fill it out, attach it to your submission and drop it in the envelope.  Two weeks after spring break we will stop taking submissions so get your story, illustration, dramatic interpretation in today.  Remember, this year, we are also looking for submissions written in foreign languages.  See Ms. Servilican in room 214 for more information!  C’mon Damonte, we know you can do this!

ATTENTION SENIORS:

You should have received your Grad. Night Disneyland information packet in your Government class on Thursday, March 12th.  Deadline for your deposit is Friday March 27^th to Mrs. Aikin in the Career Center.  There are extra packets in the Career Center.
