General Announcements:

Seniors: Don’t forget to turn in your graduation packets during lunches today and tomorrow in the cafeteria. If you didn’t turn in your cap and gown measurements at schedule pick up in August, please see Mrs. DeBow in the Guidance office as soon as possible to turn in that information.

Seniors – the deadline for the yearbook senior memory block ads is tomorrow. Please remind your parents of this deadline. Memory blocks can also be created for groups of senior friends. Contact Mr. Anderson in room

It’s that time of year for eligible juniors and seniors to start applying for membership in National Honor Society! If you are a junior with a cumulative GPA of 3.5 or higher, or a senior with a cumulative GPA of 3.25 or higher, then you are eligible to apply for membership. Eligible students should be receiving a letter at their home address, inviting them to join and also explaining the application process. If your GPA makes you eligible for NHS, but you haven’t received a letter at home, please contact Mr. Smith or Mrs. Wayman in the science office. There is only one more meeting being held: today, after school, at 2:20 in Room W-103. Remember that these meetings are only for eligible juniors and seniors, so if you are unsure whether you are eligible, please contact Mr. Smith or Mrs. Wayman in the science office.
