· Please remember that SGA's book drive is this week and
next week. We're collecting books of all types to be donated for use by
children as well as adults. Help our local communities by donating your gently
used books. Bring your books to the Media Center and leave them in front of the
fireplace. (If the Media Center is closed, please drop the books off in the
office, and SGA will collect them later.) Thank you for supporting literacy in
our community!

· Don’t miss it today! The 3rd annual Seniors v
Faculty flag football game, Monday, April 4 on the Festival Lawn at Worlds Fair
Park (closest to the school) from 3:30 – 4:30.
Free admission but there will be candy, drinks, etc. for sale to enjoy
while watching the game. Come join us!
· A reminder to
students – the Veterans Memorial and its grounds are not part of our
campus. It is a place of remembrance and
to honor the ultimate sacrifices of real American heroes. It is not a place to play or have your lunch,
and definitely not a place to leave your garbage! Police yourselves and each other. Do not disrespect the Memorial.

The Brian M. Conley Young
Writers' Institute is a free day of creative writing classes for high school
students and their teachers. Held on the campus of the University of Tennessee,
Knoxville and administered by Margaret Lazarus Dean of UT’s English Department,
the Institute offers classes in creative writing, this year in fiction and
poetry. All classes are taught by experts in their field. Lunch is
provided.
The day begins on Saturday,
April 9, at the University of Tennessee campus in HSS 71 at 10:15 a.m.,
when registration opens. Students will take one class in the morning and
another in the afternoon. After the second class, everyone returns to room HSS
71 for an open-mic reading, where the students can read from the work they
wrote that day, if they’d like to. Our Open Mic usually runs until 3 p.m., at
which point the day ends. Students will learn new writing skills, gain confidence
in expressing their ideas, and get a taste for academic life at the University
of Tennessee.
If you are interested in attending, please respond
directly to Mr. Bell by Wednesday, April 6th so that I may confirm your
registration. Students are responsible for the own transportation to and from
this event.
Quote
of the day from Jim Rohn:
Character isn’t something you were
born with and can’t change, like your fingerprints. It’s something you weren’t born with and must
take responsibility for forming.
Practice L&N Habits every day: Collaboration, Critical
thinking, Design, Innovation, Inquiry, & Professionalism
