Attention
– there will be a required TN Promise meeting for Seniors this morning from
8:00 – 9:00 in the Commons. Students
arriving on campus who want breakfast will need to enter through the cafeteria
serving area. You will not be allowed in
the Commons. If you are looking for a
place to get in out of the cold and don’t want to stay in the cafeteria you will
have to walk around the verandah sidewalk and enter through the office to go
upstairs in the Station until 9:00.
Seniors – don’t be late and don’t miss this meeting!!
·
The prom committee members will be
selling tickets during both lunches everyday except Mondays. Tickets will be
single tickets are $45 and couples tickets are $80. Additionally if students
paid their senior dues the cost of a single ticket was included. Prom sales
will END March 15, which is NEXT

Make plans to attend Open Mic Night, this Friday, March
8, 6:30 p.m., in the Commons! No admission cost, but come ready to buy
concessions!
·
Student drivers – start planning ahead – Worlds Fair Park
Drive will be down to one lane starting Tuesday, 3/12, so parents can’t wait
along the front of Holiday Inn Exhibition Center. Then WFP Drive will close completely Thursday/Friday,
you will not be able to enter from the south end of the park and it will be
closed past our parking gate. Blackstock
Lot parkers need to expect to be directed to one small area to park for the
week – we suggest planning to park along the edges of the International lot.
·
There are ONLY TWO yearbooks
left for this school year. Staff and students, this is your absolute LAST CHANCE to
grab a copy of your 2018-19 memories and participate in all of the Distribution
Day fun. If you don't want to be left out, order yours AS SOON AS
POSSIBLE for $80 at jostensyearbooks.com.
