There will be a general
interest meeting for students to find out more about joining our national
award-winning TSA chapter next Wednesday, Aug 17, from 4:45 – 5:30 in room
M052. Questions? Contact S735626@student.knoxschools.org
for more info. Here are some links to
explore for more about TSA as an organization and our chapter in particular:
· Heads up to drivers and parents – one lane of Worlds Fair
Park Drive will be closed next Friday, Aug 19, at dismissal. You will not be able to wait for students in
your usual location. You should arrange
to meet rides either in the parking lot of KMA or down Grand Avenue.
·
Spirit week is October 17 – 21, order your Spirit Week t-shirts this
week and next during lunch. They are $15
until August 19, and then the price will go up!
Order now! Cash or check payable
to “L&N STEM”.
·
Reminder to students coming in after 9:30 with Dual Enrollment,
Digital Lab and Blended Learning periods.
Report to the Commons until time for your next class. You do not need to sign in, just wait until
your first scheduled class and report there on time. For those dismissing (who have returned
forms) – you MUST sign out properly through the office. Failure to do so will result in losing the
privilege!
·
Applications to volunteer at the Golden Gryphon Credit Union (a school
branch of Y-12 Federal Credit Union) are available at the front office. Stop by and pick up the information!
·
Students - interested in joining a club or sport? Complete this form and share to share your contact information with
club and sport leaders.
·
Dress code – everybody’s shorts/skirts should be longer than your
fingertips at your sides. Girls – no
off-shoulder tops and no spaghetti straps showing. Thank you for your consideration of others in
choosing professional dress for school!

· In-Home Tutoring
will be hosting a Free Mock ACT on Saturday, August 27 at 9 a.m. for all Knox
County students, at ITT tech. Students will get their results before they leave
and will get to keep their tests for their review. Limited seating is
available, so students need to pre-register to make sure they have a
seat. This is a great practice opportunity before the September
test. Sign-up directly from their
website at www.KnoxvilleTutor.com
Quote
of the day from Oprah Winfrey:
What I know for sure is that if you want to have success, you can’t make
success our goal. The key is not to
worry about being successful, but to instead work toward being significant –
and the success will naturally follow.
