L&N Student Mission – #Own it!

Genius
Hour assignments have been sent to you as a link by email from Mr.
Childers. You should check to see where
you’ve been placed. Move from day to day
by clicking on the tabs across the bottom of the sheet. Failure to report to a Genius Hour is treated
with discipline like a class cut. If
your name is in GREEN, you did not fill out the Google form and were placed in
that activity. The only requests to move that will be granted are those that come from
teachers.
· Yearbook photos for grades 9 – 11 and senior makeups
(formal and cap & gown) will be taken Monday, Aug 29 during M1 and M2
classes. You will receive order forms in
your Advisory class on Friday. You must
bring payment with you on Monday to order pictures, but everyone has one taken
for the yearbook, Aspen profile, and school ID.
· You will receive Yearbook order forms in your Genius Hour
today. Order now at the lowest price of
the year! The price only goes up if you
wait!
·
Heads up to drivers and parents – two upcoming changes to
schedules/parking:
o
Friday, Aug 26 – WFP Drive will have one lane closed in the
afternoon. Do NOT park to wait along the
Holiday Inn – it keeps buses from being able to reach our parking lot. Use an alternate pick up location!
o
Thursday, Sept 1 (next week) – school will dismiss and buses will run
at 12:45 p.m. Students who usually park
in the Blackstock public lot need to pick up a parking pass from the front
office for that day (available beginning Monday, 8/29). You will not be allowed in the lot without
one!

· Looking for
something interesting to do this weekend?
Come to Market Square/Krutch Park from 11:00 – 5:00 for the Knox Asian
Festival. Find out more about the
activities on their website at http://www.knoxasianfestival.com .
· 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

of the day from Nathaniel Hawthorne:
Every individual has a place to fill in the world, and is important in
some respect whether he chooses to be so or not.
