There will be NO Homework Club or late bus tomorrow.
There will be Teen Night at the TTCC tomorrow evening from 5:30 to 8pm. Stop by!
The student council would like to ask the student body for their ideas concerning the theme of this year’s Winter Carnival. We encourage students to drop off their suggestions in the ballot box that will be placed in the cafeteria. The Winter Carnival committee will then narrow the choices down and students will vote on the theme when we return from Thanksgiving break.
Get your class ahead of the game for Winter Carnival by donating soup to the canned soup drive. We will be collecting canned goods during lunches until Wednesday. This year the class with the most cans will get 200 Winter Carnival points, 2nd place will get 100, and 3rd will get 50. Each can of soup will count as 2 points to your class’s total amount of cans, while other canned goods will only count for 1 point. The cans will be donated to help people in need. The winning class will be announced November 25th.
