Icky Places in School! Survey
We are conducting this survey to gather your opinion on where YOU think the most grotesque area in the school is. Please take a moment, and choose your answer truthfully.

·      Please help out some students doing research by taking this short survey https://www.surveymonkey.com/s/826X9KM

·      Freshmen – its your turn to show us what you know about writing!  TODAY and Thursday we will be administering the MIST Writing Assessment to all Freshmen.  ALL students should check the schedule at bottom of announcements to see if one of your classes is moved for this test.

·      Seniors – new pick up date and time for senior supplies is Friday, March 6, from 3:00 – 4:30 in the Commons.  You’ll also be voting for senior superlatives – make plans to be here!

·      Good luck to our TSA team – headed to Murfreesboro today to compete over the next three days.  Best wishes to all competitors and sponsors Mr. LaFollette and Ms. Cartwright!

·      L&N STEM Medic Blood Drive: Students, parents and teachers, plan to "give the gift of life" and participate in the Medic Blood Drive on Tuesday, March 10th from 9 to 3 in the STEM Space.  Students 16 and over are eligible to participate. If you're 16 and 120 lbs you may donate with parental consent. (Please use the form attached or come pick one up from Ms. Ellis in the Media Center.) Seventeen year olds that weigh 110 lbs or more may participate as well and DO NOT need consent.

Quote of the day from Ronald Reagan:

There are no constraints on the human mind, no walls around the human spirit, no barriers to our progress except those we ourselves erect.
