Everyday perfectly good food is being wasted in the school Cafeteria, but there is a solution. One problem, is that people don’t know about the Share Center, (you know, the fridge in the café by the food lines). But Mrs. Burkey’s Culinary classes are working hard to solve this problem. But they need your help, if you know what can be shared try to use it more often and if you not sure ask around. Or help someone who hasn’t used it. It only takes a few seconds to keep your unwanted sharable items from ending up in a landfill. Stay tuned for more updates on the Share Center and look out for items that are shareable. Give it a try.

This announcement is for any student who is taking an AP exam and still owes a balance for their test fees.  Please stop by the Counseling and drop off your payment ASAP, as final payments are due by TODAY Friday April 13th.  If you have any questions, please see Mrs. Ditzler.

NEWS INTRO VIDEO

Today is the birthday of third president Thomas Jefferson! Also notable for drafting the Declaration of Independence, Jefferson was one of the most important and influential founding fathers. If you only know him from the musical Hamilton, you might see him as a villain, but in reality he was a very good president and could be seen as flexible in office and progressed our country in plenty of ways. He strengthened the navy, and of course through the Louisiana Purchase he nearly doubled the size of America. Thanks T Jeff!
