December 8, 2017

1. Are you and your parents taking extra days off at Christmas break? A vacation form needs to be submitted to the office prior to the absence so that Mr. Carter can approve the absence.

2. Help us spread happiness this Christmas by being a part of Project Happy-Christmas. We are asking that you join us in purchasing, filling and wrapping one shoebox for children in Erie County. Return it to the school office or one of the drop spots listed on the flyer. Shoeboxes are due by December 15th.

3. The Teen Library Council "Fun, Food and Friendship" party will be today, December 8 at the regular meeting time, 3 pm, and last until 4:30 pm. Members are encouraged to bring a friend, and a seasonal snack to share (which may be dropped off the night before.) Bring a gift for the Secret Santa tree if you (and/or your friend) would like to receive a gift (suggested $10 value).

4. Abi and Hannah Miller will be picking up items you have collected for the Chemo Care drive on December 18th. They will be delivered in Christmas care packages to kids in the chemo care unit at University Hospital over winter break. Help your homeroom win a doughnut party while collecting items to make a child smile! Thank you for your support.

5. Holiday Spirit Week begins Monday. Monday is Pajama Day; Tuesday – Festive Socks, Wednesday - Holiday Colors (red, green, white); Thursday – Santa Hats; and Friday – Ugly Sweater. Homerooms will earn 1 point for each student who participates. The 7th and 8th grade winning homerooms will play each other in dodgeball and the winner of that will play the teachers on December 20th. Get into the Holiday spirit and have some fun too as we count down to winter break.
