“I CAN MAKE A DIFFERENCE BY?”. This was the theme for the PTA Reflection Program. We had 115 creative and inspiring entries from our school. The PTA would like to thank the students and teachers once again for entering and supporting this Program. An Award Ceremony will take place this Spring with the day and time to be announced in a few weeks.
The local judging took place over the past two months and the PTA is proud to announce seven students who received the Award of Excellence and will advance to State wide judging.
These seven students are:
Erin Lynch and Andrew Hardwick for their Literature Entries
Jacob Voelkel, Candyce Henwood, Whitney Thomas and Charlie Wort for their Visual Arts Entries
and Shannon Lynch for her Photography entry.
Congratulations to these students and good luck in the State judging!
Attention students who received shot forms:
Please take home these permission slips and return them to the nurse by Friday, February 22nd, if your parents want you to get the shots at our Health Department Clinic at school. We expect many students to participate, so they do not have to do this over the summer vacation. You should turn in your payment with the form, except for students who have medicaid--they should have their parents write their number on the form instead of sending payment. If you have questions, please see the nurse.
