Friday- The time has come for our 3rd Quarter Reward Party! All students who qualify will be taking a trip to Central Theatre to watch “Aliens in the Attic.” You may bring $1 for popcorn and $1 for pop, but the movie is free! Congrats to all qualifiers! That means you did not receive a referral this quarter and have 5 or fewer late or missing assignments!
Student Senate is sponsoring a FOOD DRIVE this week. Please bring non perishable food items to your homerooms. The homeroom with the most items will win a donut and juice party!!
As far as math goes this week….

Hey All Stars!
Great job to all math classes with DECIMALS this week! Nice Work!
Enriched Math- We will be moving into fractions next and will have a quiz on decimals Tuesday or Wednesday.
Regular Math- We will be moving on to fractions as well, but you already had your decimal test…
I am looking forward to a great week! I know it is another full 5 day one, but at least you get Monday, February 15th off! Also, I will try to hit both P.E. classes this week to dance with you….I’m sorry I have had some meetings and only able to make it to 4th period. Don’t forget to collect money for Jump Rope for Heart! And remember to pick Mr. Ferguson to throw the pies at…..not me!! Just kidding!!
