Way to go Warriors! The Wrapping Party was a huge success. More than 100 students came to help wrap over 600 toys in just 45 minutes. You are incredible! We have far surpassed the goal and we are at 1700 toys and counting. We are still accepting toys in the Attendance Office. All toys received in addition to those needed for Fletcher are donated to various families, shelters, and organizations in the area. If you have turned in a permission slip to go on the toy delivery, be in the Circle drive to board the buses right after finals on Friday, December 16. We will be leaving the school promptly at 12:15.
A couple of things to keep in mind, Warriors, as you prepare for final exams starting this Friday. . . First, appropriate dress is expected during all of finals week. If you arrive at school in PJ’s, flannel pants, slippers, or any other “sleepwear,” you will be sent home to change and risk missing your final. Secondly, final exams are an expectation in every class. You will not be allowed to leave early from any final, so plan accordingly and bring a book or other material to study should you finish early. Additionally, all academic halls will be closed once the final exam period has started, so if you need to meet with a teacher or go to the library, you must arrive there PRIOR to the tardy bell. The cafeteria will remain open for you to have a place to wait and study. GOOD LUCK ON YOUR FINAL EXAMS!
