MATH-A-THON
Any student who still has Math-s-thon pledges, please bring them to room #23. Thank you to everyone who participated in helping St. Jude Children's Research Hospital and kids who have cancer. 

IF YOUR CLASS IS GOING TO THE PUBLIC LIBRARY  . . . 
If your class is going to the public library, next door, you must walk, not run.  Be sure to look for cars.  We are getting reports that students are running out in front of cars because they are not paying attention. 

NOTICE
Students, at the end of the day, there is a lot of chaotic behavior that needs to be stopped.  When you are heading to your locker, leaving for the bus or parent pickup, it is expected that you walk, are patient & polite to those around you.  It is important that we leave school in an orderly fashion in order to prevent student injury, damage to student property or simply hurt feelings.

ELA LAB
Need help with ELA  homework? Need help with reading or writing for another class? Need to study for an ELA Test or Quiz? Ask your ELA or homeroom teacher for a pass and come visit Mrs. Knapp in room # 49 during your homeroom 4A or 4B OR Miss Mason in room # 25 during homeroom 5A or 5B for English Lab.  Both teachers will be there to help you!
