ATTENTION ALL JUNIORS AND SENIORS: The 2017 trip to Washington D.C. is here again!  This trip is an amazing opportunity to experience Washington D.C. and Capitol Hill first hand.  This year will be especially exciting and relevant because we will have a new President and many changes in Congress.There will be a parent/guardian meeting for those interested in this trip on Wednesday, October 12th at 6 PM in the Room W-2882.  Please feel free to join your parent or guardian, and if you are unable to attend the meeting, please see Mr. Hawthorne or Mrs. Winn in the Social Studies department.

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 have received a letter inviting them to apply 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 Ms. McGeorge in the science office, or Ms. Leclaire in language arts.
 This letter also tells you about important informational meetings going on this week.  If you are applying for membership in NHS, you must attend one of these meetings to learn about the club and the application process.   There are still 3 more meetings for you to choose from this week: tomorrow morning, and also today or tomorrow after school.  Remember that these meetings are only for eligible juniors and seniors, so if you are unsure whether you are eligible, please contact Mr. Smith, Ms. McGeorge, or Ms. Leclaire.

Picture re-take day will be tomorrow!  from 10 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. in the main entrance hallway. If you haven't had your picture taken for the yearbook, now is the time to do it. If you need re-takes please return your photo packet to the photographer.

Come to Dairy Queen in Southglenn on Wednesday October 12th between 5 and 8pm to help support the Choirs and Orchestra. Every sale helps us out, so bring the family, bring your friends, bring your dog and your sweet tooth to DQ on Wednesday.

Senior students and parents!  Come to Financial Aid Night this evening from 6-7pm in the theater.  A financial aid expert will be here from the University of Denver to explain the two major changes in filing this year, to help you understand the importance of applying for financial aid, and to educate you on applying for aid at both public and private colleges. This is the only night this information will be offered, so be sure to attend!  Underclassmen and parents are also welcome to come and get a preview of the financial aid process.
