  • Schools for Africa: Please come pick up your popcorn orders by the end of the day today in Madame's room (room 147).
  • The Goldbug Yearbook Staff are happy to announce that we will be hosting a contest to have art featured in the yearbook! This year we are basing our art theme on the original Goldbug yearbook from 1918; you will see flyers around the school with examples, and you can see hard copies by looking at the yearbook in the library. We are looking for a cover, headlines for sections (like Athletics, Class of 2019, Superlatives, etc), and comics that relate to life in the school. In addition to having your art featured forever in the yearbook, we will also give prizes (TBD) to the artists whose pieces get featured! Contact Miss Garrity in Guidance with any questions. Deadline will be February 1st.
  • Students who took the PSAT this October:  PSAT results with item analysis are available to pick up in the Guidance office.    Here's what it is:  it's your answer to every question, whether right or wrong, by item...and the actual test booklet with it so you can look at the question and learn from what you got wrong.  This is a great way to  focus your preparation for the SAT to target areas of challenge. (We won't keep them forever, so come pick yours up!)
  • ATTENTION ALL STUDENTS: THIS IS A REMINDER THAT TODAY, FRIDAY DECEMBER 21 WILL BE A FULL DAY OF SCHOOL FOR STUDENTS.
  • TODAY, December 21st, the Literary Club will be having an informal meeting in room 174. We will be watching a movie that's related to the book that we're reading currently, and eating yummy snacks as a send off before holiday break! The next meeting that we'll be having book discussions will be Monday, January 8th, at 3 pm in 174. Hope to see you there
  • Musical auditions have come and gone, but your chance to be in the musical has not!  Did you know that we never cut anyone from the musical cast?  Rehearsals start January 7 - consider walking in to the auditorium after break and join this massive - and very enjoyable - way to spend your winter.
  • Any student interested in participating in the Black College Tour over April Break, please contact Ms. Custard (room 307) for an application as soon as possible. This week long tour is sponsored by the Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. Community Center in Springfield.
