THOUGHT OF THE DAY: Have you noticed how much bad language there is in the movies, in videos, and in music? Back in the olden days, when your parents and teachers were teenagers you never heard bad language on TV or on the radio or in the movies. It was considered offensive. In other words, hearing a lot of cursing and bad language upset most people. Now listen to these ancient words of wisdom: Speech is the mirror of the soul; as a man speaks, so is he. In other words, the words we speak are a reflection of who we are. It makes you think, doesn’t it? Today, if you hear bad language, think about what the words are really saying about the person using them. And if you catch yourself using bad language, ask yourself this: Am I the words I speak?
LUNCH: Do you bring your lunch from home? If you do, you can add a fruit, veggie and milk for free!!! That’s right! You can jazz up your lunch in the cafeteria with a fruit, veggie and milk for free if you bring your lunch from home. Bon appetit!!
SAFE: It’s SAFE to Tell. The SAFE Team exists to help students with problems in a confidential manner to help remove any and all barriers to education. You can refer your friends or yourself. It’s now safer and easier to tell: just fill out the SAFE to Tell form which you can find ONLINE in your guidance counselor’s resources folder. Don’t worry, “It’s Safe To Tell.” Thanks for being AWESOME!
DISMISSAL: Students please note that you are not permitted to remain in the building after dismissal unless you are involved in an activity. If you are waiting for a friend please wait outside the building.
WATER FOUNTAINS: Water fountains are only to be used to fill up water bottles and not to be used for getting drinks. Students are allowed to bring a water bottle with them every day and are encouraged to do so!
