MS/HS Bulletin October 7

Based on the parade schedule it looks like we may finish before 12:15, but that isn't certain.  With that in mind, we'll all have to be a little flexible.  Please see the tentative plan below:

9:50  2nd period teachers escort 2nd period students to Main Street.

11:45-12:15 Parade should end.  If the parade ends before 12:15 students and teachers return to 4th period classes.  This includes middle school band students.  High School Band Students will not return until later.  There will not be band class 4th period for middle school band students; they should report to their appropriate study hall.  Middle School Chorus students should report to the Music Room.

12:15-12:45 All students report to the gym for lunch.

12:45  5th period resumes until the bell at 1:16 with 6th-8th periods as usual.

All boys golfers should meet in Mr. Kjellsen's room at 3:20 on Thursday. Bring your bags, shirts, and range finders.
FBLA meeting Thursday, October 8th during advisory in Ms. Lingbeck's room.
Reminder that Table Talks is today at St. John’s Lutheran Church.

FCCLA will be selling pink eye "blacks" for Pink Night at the football game this Friday.  They are $1 per set and can purchased at lunch on Thursday and Friday or from Mrs. Tietz.  All proceeds go towards fighting breast cancer!
