Stay healthy -- WASH YOUR HANDS!

FIELDTRIP STUDENTS

ARE YOU PART OF THE GREEN CLASS?

If so, please make sure that you are up to date on ALL of your work by the end of this week. You should talk with your teachers about getting next week's work ahead of time. If your instructors do not have those materials available yet, please be prepared to catch up upon your return after your 4-day fieldtrip next week. The future of our fieldtrip programs depends on you holding up your end of the bargain. Please make sure you are fulfilling your classwork obligations. Thank you!

All students who have a number of fieldtrips in their class schedule also should make sure that all of their instructors know when they will be absent. Students ARE responsible for work that they miss when on fieldtrips in other courses. ASK YOUR INSTRUCTORS WHAT YOU MISSED!

Presidential Puppy

After a long wait. . . .

Introducing..... Bo Obama, First Dog of the Obama Administration.

Thought Point: What does all the media hype and attention around this element of the First Family say about us as a nation?

Happy Spring Break!!

I hope everyone (students and staff, alike) enjoys a safe and relaxing Spring Break vacation. We will return on Tuesday, April 14th for the short sprint to summer. I look forward to hearing what you were reading and learning during break !

New Quarter !

Welcome to the Fourth Quarter of the 2008-09 academic year. After a long winter and a long third quarter, this will be a great one as we slide into summer.

The All-School Meeting will be held during first period on Tuesday, March 31 in the gym.

Please remember that all course schedule changes must be made by the end of the day on Thursday, April 2. All students must complete an Add/Drop form to change their schedule. You can acquire those schedule change forms in the Main Office or from the Guidance Office.

THANK YOU!

A Huge Thank You goes out to the Wolfe family for their ever-so-generous donation of a class set of Selznick's The Invention of Hugo Cabret. Such donations allow us to keep our curriculum current and in line with student interests.

Student Senate Liaison Election

Your classmate, Jake Oen, is running for the position of Student Senate Liaison to the MMSD Board of Education. Please offer any possible support. He needs to obtain signatures from students at each of the 4 main high schools and Affiliated Alternatives to be eligible to run in the initial primary. Most needed are student contacts at LaFollette High School.
