  • It's that time of year again! The Media Center is hosting a Scholastic Book Fair from December 5th-December 12th in the back area of the library. Books for all ages will be on sale. The Media Center will earn a portion of the proceeds. Last year we earned about $2300, and took most of our earnings in the form of books from the fair. Titles on sale now include Twilight and other titles by Stephanie Meyer.


  • The Ford Partnership for Advanced Studies is an organization that provides students with content knowledge and skills necessary for future success—in such areas as business, economics, engineering, and technology. They have offered our school an afterschool program that will target ninth grade students. Through the after-school program students would work in small groups to problem solve current issues and acquire necessary research skills that they can utilize in their classes. In addition, this organization will provide the students with afternoon snacks and all-paid educational field trips. If any freshmen is interested, he or she would be required to stay afterschool twice a month on Wednesdays from 2:30 pm to 4:00 pm. Transportation is not provided, so please make sure to make arrangements to be picked up from school at 4:00 pm. For more information email Mrs. Aycart
