Attention Science Olympiad team - Our first practice will be this Thursday in Mr. Wertz's room 116 after school until 4:30. This is a correction from the letter sent home to parents.
Just a wee reminder that Middle School students are not permitted in the HS unless they have band or performing arts and may not hang out in the IC or in front of the IC to meet with HS students.
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: What is the birthstone for January
Answer: Garnet
Class: Schmidt
Note: Garnet. The word “garnet” comes from the 14th century Middle English word gernet, meaning “dark red.” The word is derived from Latin granatum, which means “seed,” and is called so because of the gemstone's resemblance to the red seeds of the pomegranate.
Have a marvelous Monday everybody!
