Tuesday, April 6

Be Respectful, Be Excellent, Be Accepting, Be a Leader

This is a B Day.

8th Grade: Talent show auditions will be April 15th from 2:45 – 5pm in room 16.  Please come ready to perform.  We want to see all kinds of talent!!  If you’re good at sports, magic, comedy skits, singing, dancing……bring it all!!  Please fill out an application, which is located in the cafeteria, and return it to Mrs. McWilliams or Mr. Fischer.  One application per act, please.  If you have any questions, please come see Mrs. McWilliams or Mr. Fischer.

7th Grade: Remember to bring your orange card, filled out and signed, to school on Wednesday, April 7.

Thank you to all who applied for WEB!!  We had 120 applications and we only needed 62!  After careful consideration, your WEB coordinators, teachers and administrators have compiled the list of names and posted them in the gym.  Thank you for wanting to make the middle school transition easier for our 6th graders.

ALL GRADES: Next time you are in the library, take a look at the new book trailers!  We have updated the book previews to show more new and different books!

Wow… The “Be REAL” logo contest was well received.  Over 150 students entered a drawing and they are INCREDIBLE!!  Because the drawings are so incredible, we have asked an outside artist to come in and select the top 12-15 entries based on creativity, artistic ability, originality and reproducibility.  These entries will be displayed on art boards in the cafeteria for the All-School Voting on April 8th and 9th.  The student body will have a chance to vote for their favorite logo.

Good Luck to Everyone who has entered!
