Here’s
something fun to take your mind off testing for a moment – it is time to vote
for the PTSA Teacher and Support Person of the Year Awards! This student-voted recognition will be
presented at the spring awards event next Thursday night. Let your favorite teacher and staff member
have your support! You must use your
@knoxschools email address to log in, and you may only vote once in each poll.

Want to visit
Paul Revere’s house, see Harvard Square, or tour the Lexington Battle
Green? Interested in exploring Greenwich Village, SOHO, Chinatown, and
Little Italy? Ready to see the Statue of Liberty, Times Square, the MET,
and two Broadway shows? Due to overwhelming student requests, I will be hosting
a spring break trip to New York and Boston in 2019. On Monday, April 23, we will host an enrollment meeting at 6:30 p.m. in the STEM Space. At this
meeting, we will discuss the specific itinerary, pricing, and travel
details. Please complete this form if you are interested in attending the
meeting and/or trip: https://goo.gl/forms/OFoCVKpCMAzHJpFx2.

Plan on coming
this Friday night to our PTA Spring fundraiser!
Bring your parents, $5 entry fee gets you 2 music shows on the plaza,
food trucks where you can buy dinner, and a wide variety of items to bid on –
including a student parking pass on campus for 2018-19 school year (student
does not have to be a senior to win)!
·
Congrats to Hali Davis, Noah Rivera, and Marianna Simmins, who represented the
L&N at the TN State Destination Imagination Tournament in Nolansville, TN
last weekend. They gave a great
performance. We’re looking to expand the
team next year – ask them how to join!
·
Shout out to
our TSA state competition team who competed last weekend in Chattanooga. This team of talented 15 brought home 6
different trophies as they qualified for Nationals to be held this summer in
Atlanta. Good luck TSA!
· Any
boys or girls interested in playing golf next fall contact Mr. Waxmonsky.
The season starts before the first day of school. You can talk to him in person
or at mark.waxmonsky@knoxschools.org
for information about tryouts.
· Make
sure that from the 16th-27th you bring in canned pet food, bagged dry pet food,
peanut butter, and other pet supplies to help out our local Young Williams
Animal Shelter! Bring in your donations to a table in the commons and record on
this google form (https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSdRGBMKiatZS2bETBGr1k4oAWiZayQ08_Dl8Okd2ddlyE8veg/viewform?usp=sf_link
) how much you bring in for your advisory. The advisory with the most donations
by the 27th will win a doughnut party!

Summer opportunity: The
Young Scholars Program (YSP) is for high school sophomores, juniors, and
seniors, and it's a great opportunity to get some hands-on research in
engineering before college. This is a competitive application process, so
students will need to submit transcripts and 2 letters of recommendation, as
well as a personal statement. That program runs July 2 - 27th, and
information can be found here: http://curent.utk.edu/education/pre-college/youngscholars/ The program runs on campus at the University
of TN through the CURENT group. We’ve had students participate in the
past and loved it!
Quote of the day from Albert Einstein:
There are only two ways to live your life. One is as though nothing is a miracle. The other is as though everything is a
miracle.
