Did you remember to have parents sign
your mid-term exam dismissal slip? Bring
it to any teacher this week or you won’t be able to leave on half days next
week! Mid-terms start this Thursday, for L3 & L4 – be ready – one last
strong effort and then you can take a break!

Happy holidays from SGA! Next week, SGA
will be delivering candy grams and holiday cards to your Friday advisory!
For $1 you can send a candy cane to one of your friends, and for $2 you
can send a holiday card! Send both for just $2.50! You can also get a
$5 ticket to the Friday Holiday Advisory where we will be
providing snacks, drinks, and playing The Polar Express! Come to the
commons during lunch to get in on these hot holiday offers!"

It’s here! Winter Wonder week! Sponsored by your SGA – plan to participate

· Hey students! We hear Santa is
working on his Nice and Naughty list! Want to be sure your teacher ends
up on his list and has to serve time in Santa’s “naughty cell” in the Commons
area on Tuesday, Dec 13? It’ll cost you – and all the proceeds will go
to help our SECME group go on a college tour this spring! Before school on Friday, Monday, or Tuesday,
come to the Commons red brick “jail” area and fill out a naughty list
nomination from the “most wanted teachers” posters you’ll see for whom you wish
to see in the Cell in the Commons on 12/13. Reach out to your friends to
raise more money and increase the sentence!
Here’s how it works:
o To put your teacher in the Naughty Cell
in the Commons will cost $1 per minute, up to the length of your class period
(up to 80 minutes).
o For “sentences” of 30 minutes or less,
a sub will come to your class while your teacher serves his/her time. For
“sentences” of 31 – 80 minutes, the class will report to the Commons while the
teacher serves his/her sentence.
o Due to space, we have to limit to no
more than 3 teachers able to “serve sentence” at any one time.
o All funds must be contributed by the
start of school on Tuesday so the sentence can be verified by administration,
who reserve the right to return funds if the sentence cannot be carried out for
any reason.
o You also have the chance to nominate
your teacher for the “nice list!” Get on
their good side by contributing $1 for every 2 minutes to get out of their
sentence! Teachers will be notified how
much was raised to put them in the cell and how much was raised to get them
out!

· Are you interested in math competitions? If

on Monday, December 12, at 3:30 PM in Room 207. There is no registration,
so all you have to do is show up. It will only take about 45
