Let’s do a little Trivia Tuesday, since we missed Manic Mystery Monday yesterday.  Teachers dial 1420 when you have heard the entire question and your class has an answer:

Question: The most visited painting in the world is ‘The Mona Lisa’ by Leonardo da Vinci.  What city houses the museum where The Mona Lisa can be seen?

Answer: Paris, France

Class: Duckert

Note:  Created by Leonardo da Vinci at the start of the 16th century, it's valued at well over $660 million. The painting has been on display in the Louvre on and off since 1797. Every year, around 10 million people visit the museum.

Have a terrific Tuesday everybody and remember it may not be easy but it will definitely be worth it!

Stay tuned for information about our Spirit week which is happening next week for Homecoming.

There are some students in the cafeteria for lunch and breakfast who are walking away from their garbage.  You may not leave the lunchroom or go outside until your entire area, table and floor are cleaned.  If this continues we will be dismissing by table.

The Cross Country team embarked on their first race of the season.  With just one returning member from last season this team has a bunch of new additions.  Will B is the lone returner and had a top 10 finish in the boys race. While Maddi B also took home a medal in the girls competition.  Coach Snyder and Coach Lewis were proud to see everyone finish on a dreadfully hot afternoon.  Practice today will start in Coach Snyder's room at 3:15pm.  The team is still looking for some runners, especially boys.  We need two more guys to officially score points as a team.  If you are interested see Coach Snyder ASAP.  

Have a tremendous Thursday everybody!  Let’s make today RIDICULOUSLY amazing!

If you need to ride a bus other than the one you are assigned to, your parents need to call the bus garage to set it up.  This should be done a day ahead of time as there are several buses at full capacity and it can't always be accommodated.
