Hey Warriors, this Wednesday is Halloween. As always, many of you will be planning on wearing your Halloween costume to school. Just as a reminder, you cannot wear anything that covers your face, including masks, face paint and hoods. Also remember that the dress code in your student planner is still in effect. If you are taking the PSAT that morning, please wait until after the test to change into your costume. 

The speech and debate team will hold its weekly meeting and practice after school today in C15. All members should attend.
