NEWS
6, 7, and 8th graders. Please do not move chairs from tables during lunch. If you have a group larger than 6, please talk with your group and find an alternate location. Removing chairs from one table to another causes difficulties with students finding seats at lunch. Thank you!
CLUBS
Middle school students: Do you want to impress your friends when you can spell and define words like jitney, jubilance, and jugular? Don't worry, you don't have to spell out loud like they do on TV! Meet during lunch in Mrs. Taylor's room (B126) this Thursday for a Middle School Spell Bowl informational meeting. Bring your lunch, a friend, and find out what Spell Bowl is all about!
Cherokees, interested in joining STUCO? Please pick up a petition form from either Mrs. George’s or Mrs. Leek’s room. Our first meeting is this Friday, August 25th; hope to see you there!
