 Today is a recycling day and tomorrow will be an “F” Friday.

 Attention students:  if you are planning to stay for activity period today, please be aware that the activity buses will be here right at the end of activity period because of the elementary half day.  Please go directly to the activity bus dismissal area at 3:20.  And remember…activity buses have changed.  Know your new bus BEFORE the end of activity period.

 The Super Bowl Soup Drive is taking place this week.  Place your cans or boxed food in the container for the Super Bowl team you want to win.  Containers will be located outside the cafeteria and library as you come in before homeroom.  If you donate three or more items, your name will be put in a raffle to win a $10 iTunes gift card.  Bring in your canned food and let’s see who O’Rourke wants to win the Super Bowl.
