Hey everybody, don’t forget that our Picture Days are at the end of this week, Thursday and Friday, Aug 29^th and 30^th, during your PE classes.  Bring you picture order form to give to the Lifetouch folks or go online and do your order before you have your picture taken.  If you lost your order form, there are extras in the office.  Remember this picture is used in the Yearbook, and also will be on your ID card, so remember to dress appropriately and SMILE!   If you miss getting your picture taken we will have a re-take day, towards the end of September.  Thanks

Still Looking for TA’s! The following TA positions are available.  Remember, to be a TA you use the period of your Elective class only and you need to be a 7^th or 8^th grader only.  You need to speak to the teacher about being a TA and get a note from them to give to Ms. Bellach.  Here is the list and the periods needed:  Ms. Castaneda needs TA’s for periods 1, 2 and 3.  The office needs TA’s for 2^nd and 3^rd period.  Thanks!

Leadership News!

Aloooooha! This Friday is our first rally and the theme is Hawaiian/tropical! 

            We are also starting up our Advisory Spirit Competition on Friday. So keeping with the theme of the rally, our spirit dress up will be Hawaiian/tropical. Be sure to wear any Hawaiian or tropical wear to get points for your Advisory class. Clothing such as Hawaiian shirts and hula skirts are 2 points and accessories such as sunglasses and leis are 1 point. 

            Leadership is also hosting a noontime activity on Friday for the Advisory Spirit Competition. We will be doing a Hula Hoop Frisbee Toss. So come out to the field after the 10 minute bell on Friday and earn some points for your Advisory class. We will only take the first person that comes out from your Advisory class. Hope to see you there!
