Happy Birthday today to Victoria D and Alison A. Have a wonderful birthday guys!

We have NWEA testing tomorrow and Wednesday for all grades.  We’ll be operating on a 2 hour delay schedule.  Make sure to have an early night’s sleep and a healthy breakfast in the morning.

Today is our first collection date for the student council fundraiser.  Turn your $$ into your advisory class teachers.  Let’s see which class comes out on top.

And now it’s time for Manic Mystery Monday so pop your thinking caps on and teachers dial 1420 when you have heard the entire question and your class has an answer:

Question: In medicine Alexander Fleming discovered what life-saving substance?

Answer: Penicillin

Class: Collins

Note: In 1928, Scottish physician Alexander Fleming was the first to show that Penicillin kills bacteria when added to a fungal contamination of a bacterial culture.  Send him a wee thank you next time you have an ear or sinus infection!

Have a marvelous Monday everybody!

We are almost there people!!!  You might want to dig the disgusting sludge that you’ve been cultivating in the bottom of your lockers out and toss it, along with the 110 days worth of crumpled up worksheets and miscellaneous items of moldy clothing, rather than leaving it all until the last day of school.

If you are 6th and 7th grade and would like to be a part of our amazing Student Council next year there are applications in the office.  Stop in during your lunchtime.  These are due next Thursday, 26th.

Don’t forget to get those sponsorships in for the Marauder’s Magnificent Mile Fundraisers.  Do it for the charity, do it for the school, do it for a chance to win prizes and fun activities and most importantly, do it for a chance to crush your opponents in the other advisory classes.

We will have concessions tomorrow afternoon.

Have a tremendous Thursday everybody!  Guess what?!  No exams today!!!  Yaaaaaay!!!  I think that today’s going to be a great day!!
