Today I introduced the Reflections Program to your kids. This year’s theme is “WOW”. Students can enter works of art in six categories: Dance Choreography, Film Production, Literature, Musical Composition, Photography, and Visual Arts. Entry forms are available in the main office or from a homeroom teacher. Entries can be submitted in the media center through December 9. LET’S GET CREATIVE!!! All students who enter will have their artwork displayed and will enjoy a special lunch.
Also, 2nd Quarter Choice Hour classes begin on Wednesday November 5th. Choice Hour selections will be posted on the Choice Hour board in the main hallway and in each homeroom after school on Monday November 3rd. The deadline for requesting a Choice Hour class change will be Wednesday November 19th by 4:00 PM. Choice Hour class change request forms will be available in the main office after 4:00 PM on Wednesday November 12th. Classes with openings will be listed on the back of the Choice Hour class change request form. Please read the change form very carefully – the form has been redesigned.
