This announcement is for 8th grade students. We will be having a recycling competition during lunches A and B. This competition will go until this friday. there will be two bins in the lunch room, one for A lunch and one for B lunch. Each lunch needs to recycle as much as they can in their bin. The recycled waste will be weighed daily. At the end of next week the lunch that has recycled the most will win a treat for the whole lunch. This competition is being run by 8th graders, Audrey Howard, Hannah Simonson and Hannah Luckes for a waste science project with the goal of reducing waste in our school. If you have any other questions you can ask these students or their science teacher, Mr. Dempsey. Good luck!"

Black History Month daily fact
Each day during the month of February, we will have a "Black History Fact" in honor of Black History Month.
Black History called Negro History Month was first called Negro History Week. It originated with Carter G. Woodson in 1926 because he wanted to bring national attention to the contributions made by African Americans. He chose the second week in February because it contained the birthdays of Abraham Lincoln and Fredrick Douglass. In 1976, the observance was expanded to the entire month of February.
