This weeks track meet has been moved to Steele H.S. in Cibolo. Maps will be available to all athletes

Students who got shots at the school clinic last week need to come by the nurse office today and pick up a shot card to bring to your parents. This is their proof that you got the shots, and it is very important that you take your card home. I know that none of you want to repeat the shots, so see the nurse today.

Just a reminder!!!! PALS applications need to be in as soon as possible. So if you forgot to turn it in on Tuesday, get it in quickly!! Take it by the front office and they will get it to Mrs. Legg.

HEY, HEY, FCA - Don't forget that there will not be a meeting this Friday. If you want to go with Coach Winki on Saturday to deliver our PROJECT ZAMBIA donation, you MUST let her know by Friday. We will be meeting at the Middle School on Saturday at 1:15 so that we can take our donation to the University of the Incarnate Word to give to Sister Walter. We will also be taken on a tour of the campus and eat dinner while we are there. You will need $6 to $8 for your meal. See Coach Winki if you have any questions.

This announcement is for all FCA and LEO club members that plan to participate in the RELAY FOR LIFE event April 25 & 26. You must turn your money in to Coach Winki by Thursday after school so that she can turn it in tomorrow at BANK NIGHT. Remember, if you want to spend the night at the RELAY FOR LIFE, you MUST have either been an official team member by raising $100 or more dollars or you MUST have helped raise other funds for the event. If you have questions, see Coach Winki.

Attention All LEO Club Members - Don't forget to go by Mr. Barrett's room today or tomorrow to give him your nomination for next years officers. We will be voting on those officers at our next meeting on Friday, April 25.Congratulations to the Unicorn Net squad! The 7th graders tied with Smithson Valley-5 to 5. The 8th graders won 6-4. This gave the Unicorns an overall victory of 11 matches to 9 matches. Way to go Big Blue! Our next match will be next Tuesday against Barnes at the NBHS courts. This will be our last match before the district tournament on April 26. Come help us raise a racket against Barnes!
