Flores Announcements

Students – you should remember from the announcements last week that your counselors will not be honoring requests for schedule changes for things like “I just don’t like this class” or “I want a different teacher or different class period” or even “I want out of AP W History” Your counselors should NOT be getting emails with these kinds of requests. And remember we also expect you to stay in your advanced level courses and try tutoring, meeting with your teacher, etc. - the policy you signed when you requested those courses. You need to stick it out. Enjoy your new classes because any changes moving forward should be very limited and only special circumstances. It’s going to be a great semester!

Brainstorming the Volunteer Options

For those that want to do some volunteer work, but aren't ready to make an ongoing commitment, there are many ways to get involved. Some ideas are:

  • organize a bake sale, car wash or other fundraiser to raise funds for a local non-profit group or charity
  • help with a kids activity or craft at a local community fair
  • collect pledges and participate in a charity walk or bike ride
  • help set up for a local community event or fundraiser
  • plant trees or participate in a community clean-up project
  • organize a food drive or sort food at a local food bank
  • stuff envelopes or put up posters
  • paint childrens' faces at a charity event
  • design a poster for a community or charity event
  • assist with registrations at a charity golf tournament or other event
  • help wrap raffle gift baskets for a fundraiser

We will be hosting a volleyball tournament starting next Monday. Please see the email from Ms. Flores this weekend for the link on how to sign up your team. The tournament is open to only the first 10 teams to sign up. Hurry so you don¹t want to miss out!!

Today during block lunch we will have volleyball during open gym. Remember that food and drink are not permitted in the gym at any time.

IT’S A GREAT DAY TO BE A FARMER. AND REMEMBER, THE BEST PREPARATION FOR TOMORROW IS TO DO YOUR BEST TODAY!
