Also, a reminder to Peer Tutors to please sign up for your availability on the calendar outside of  Mr Bruder's office in Student Services. Thank you in advance!
Battle of the Classes:
Many of you asked about the freshmen ice cream bar, and why were the 9th graders getting all the love. Well, now is your chance to have your own class ice cream bar. At the end of the month, on November 30 Student Services will calculate which class has the best attendance for the month and host an ice cream sundae bar during all three lunches for that class with the highest average on Friday, Dec 1. Currently here are the standings:
Freshmen are leading with an average daily attendance of 95.12% Sophomores are second with 93.65% Juniors are third with 93.63% and seniors are in last place with 90.57%.
Standings will be posted on the Student Services bulletin board and displayed in the cafeteria weekly.
Good luck to all and remember that every day you are here--you are making a positive difference.
Homecoming Pictures
Pictures from the homecoming dance have arrived and may be picked up in Room 144 either before or after school.
