We are collecting new socks and new or gently used shoes. There will be a donation box in Mrs. Andrews’ room and in front of the cafeteria every day during high school lunch. If you have any questions please see Raul Ortiz.

Health Smart Campaign

Today’s Health Smart Reminder: Your body converts food to glucose, the simplest form of sugar, which it uses for energy. Blood glucose levels must stay within a normal range so the body doesn’t think it’s starving. Healthful snacking helps to maintain normal glucose levels (without spikes and dips) and prevents a nasty spike-and-crash cycle.

seniors

Seniors: order your class shirts by tomorrow. See Caroline, Abbey, or Alex for the form and turn the form and $15 in to Mr. Bice.

Words of Wisdom

Saturday, April 22 was Earth Day – begun in 1970 to celebrate our planet’s environment and raise public awareness about pollution – this day is observed worldwide with rallies, conferences, outdoor activities, and service projects. It was once said that we do not inherit the Earth from our ancestors; we borrow it from our children. In other words, what we do to the Earth, today, impacts future generations. So, think of ways you can make the Earth a better place and then, act on those thoughts – pick up litter, recycle, walk instead of drive; plant a garden; don’t waste water; and turn off the lights when you leave the room. With something to think about, make it a great day – the choice is yours.
