ANNOUNCEMENTS FOR TUESDAY, JANUARY 30, 2024

Attention Friends of Rachel Club: Our next meeting will be held on Thursday in
the open cafeteria during period 6. Passes can be picked up in the library through
Wednesday. No passes will be given on Thursday. Please be sure to have your period
6 teacher initial the pass.

Seniors: Please help raise money to pay for your AfterGlo by participating in the final
round of Gardners’ Candies Sale. Stop by Mrs. Irwin’s classroom (room A334) to sign
out a box of Peanut Butter Meltaways. Once again, if you sell $250 worth of
fundraisers this year, you will receive one free ticket to AfterGlo. If you sell $400
worth of fundraisers, then you will receive two free tickets to the AfterGlo.

Attention Seniors who sold Marianna’s Hoagies and Pizzas for AfterGlo:
Orders will be delivered TODAY. Students can pick up their orders at the end of the
school day today near the main entrance or from 3:00 PM – 4:30 PM at the main
entrance of the B Building. Please do not try to pick up early as it will interfere with
dismissal. Please make necessary arrangements to have all orders picked up as all
items are perishable and we have nowhere to store them.

of the Guidance Office is the Big A Booster Scholarship. To be considered for this
Scholarship, applicants must be a member of a varsity sport and a parent must be a

community and life. Deadline is March 1 st .

Attention Seniors: Are you looking for another scholarship opportunity? Do you
have a family member who is a Veteran? If you answer yes to both of these
questions, then be sure to stop by the Guidance office literature rack and look for the
Sweat 4 Vets Scholarship application. Completed forms must be submitted no later
than April 1, 2024. Last year, seven $1,000 scholarships were awarded to deserving
seniors and they are on track to do the same again this year!
