REMINDERS FROM THE OFFICE OF STUDENT AFFAIRS:
Parking Lot Reminder:
Parents are reminded that they must use the parent drop off lane in the rear of the building to drop off students in the morning to ensure the safety of all students. Please pull forward to the top of the lane so that traffic does not back up into the side parking lot. Students should not exit parent driven vehicles in the travel lanes of the student parking area; this jeopardizes the safety of the students.

The student government is still under debate to which charity they want to donate. There will be class jars in the dining hall during all lunches. Pennies count as positive points, silver coins count as negative points. Students are asked to place pennies into their class jar, and "sabotage" the other classes by placing silver coins into the other jars.
