There will be a meeting for grades 8-11 boys’ basketball players at 3:05 today in Mr. Kjellsen’s room. 

Sunflower seeds are not permitted in school, including the lunchroom.  I would assume good manners would keep you from spitting garbage on the floor, but it's happening anyway.

Friday, May 6 is the last day to purchase a yearbook.  Costs are $55 for the yearbook, $5 for personalization and $3 for an Icon.

Seniors--your last academic day is Tuesday, May 10th.  You are also required to be present on Wednesday, May 11th from 8:30-12:00 for graduation practice and robe/cap checkout.  You will not receive your robe and cap until after graduation practice; your attendance is mandatory.  Wells Fargo is providing pizza and the office staff is serving ice cream for your lunch.

Seniors need to have all library books turned in by Friday, May 5 to avoid fines. Grades 6-11 need to have all books turned in by Monday, May 16 to avoid fines.
