before you go reserve your tux (or your date’s tux) look for senior Daniel
Bueckman. Tell him you want your “prom
prize” and he will give you a coupon for $50 off your rental!
· Seniors – Jostens will be here with your Senior
Supplies on Tuesday, March 7 from 12:20 – 1:40 in the Media
Center. You should receive a collection
envelope at your home mail address.
Bring it with any balance due to pick up your merchandise. Everything must be paid in full to pick it
up. Anything not picked up will be taken
back to Josten’s and cost $20 for anything that has to be mailed later.
· Student drivers – March 6 – 9 (next week), the
Knoxville Boat Show has rented the Blackstock public parking lot we use for
student parking. There will be a guard
posted so you will not be allowed to park
there Monday through Thursday next week. The street
parking should be available along Grand Avenue. Keep in mind that the KMA
lot is timed so you cannot park there all day long. We are very sorry for
the inconvenience, but this is the price we pay for our wonderful location – a
little sharing of space with our downtown neighbors every once in awhile.

One of our advisory classes really needs your help in an upcoming hygiene
product drive in our school. For the next two weeks (February 27th through March 9th), we will be
collecting items to be donated to KARM Ministries. Items that are needed
include things that you would use on a daily basis: deodorant, tooth paste,
tooth brushes, bar soap, body wash, conditioner, shampoo, feminine products
(tampons and pads), lotion, etc. Please remember that the items you donate need
to be new and unused. Travel sizes and family sizes are both needed. Any and
all donations should be dropped off in the library. So next time you are at the
store, try and pick up a couple of items off this list, and help someone in our
community that is in need. Thank you, in advance, for your corporation in this
project.
