personal email to tell you where to go and when for makeup sessions today. See the EOC testing schedule at the bottom

Be sure to
come visit the Dogwood Arts Festival Chalkwalk this Saturday in Market Square
and Krutch Park, enjoy the beautiful chalk art and support your L&N STEM

Are you
interested in math? All students who have completed at least 2 math
classes and have a current math GPA of 3.25 are welcome to join the school’s
chapter of the Mu Alpha Theta, a national math honor society. If you have only
completed 1 math class, you can still join as an Associate member. As a member
of Mu Alpha Theta, you will have the opportunity to participate in math
challenges and competitions. If you are eligible and wish to join, please
fill out the interest form at https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSf5pOWWcx4ybpDObLhLuUIhnZgaimDI8GhhPDUnntnuLasXVw/viewform?usp=sf_link

Our SGA is
hosting a school-wide cleanup day THIS Saturday, and we need your
help! Meet at the school in the commons from 9:00 am to 1:00 pm
on April 21st to help us mulch, plant, and pick up trash around campus to
improve the school. Food will be provided! If you plan to attend, if
possible, please sign up to bring tools through this sign up

Hope to see you there!

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.

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

Plan on
coming TONIGHT 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)!
· 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!
Community & Guidance Ops:
·
An admissions representative from Lincoln Memorial University, Harrogate
TN, will be in Guidance Wednesday, April 25 during Genius Hour.
·
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 Henry Ford:
When everything seems to be going against you, remember that the
airplane takes off against the wind, not with it.
