SCHOOL WISDOM OF THE DAY: Thomas Edison, one of the world’s greatest inventors, explained his success as the result of concentrating on only one thing at a time. (Radford)
BEST BUDDIES: There is going to be a meeting TODAY during lunch in room 809. We will be planning our last few activities. Please plan on attending and spending time with your buddy. (Strauss)
ATTENTION STUDENTS: Remember that your personal electronics must be silenced and stored out of view while you’re in the classroom. We have had an increase in the number of cell phones and iPods confiscated by teachers. And, we have had an increase in the number of students refusing to give these items to teachers when requested to do so. Students who fail to abide by the rules and/or argue with teachers about these rules are subject to Saturday School and suspension.
Remember, Lancers, keep the focus on academics and be respectful members of our school community. (S. Williams)
REWARD! A ring was lost in the girl’s restroom in the 300 building yesterday during nutrition break. This ring has a lot of sentimental value and there is a $75 reward being offered. The ring is a gold band with three diamonds. The word LOVE is under the diamonds (kind of supporting the diamonds). If you have any information please go to the main office. (Walters)
