Good morning! Do you have your thinking caps on? If so, here’s a trivia question for you. According to Olympedia.org, who is the first Black woman from any country to win an individual gold medal in Olympic speedskating? You don’t know? Any guesses? Well… it’s Erin Jackson who just did so in this year’s winter Olympics! If you like trivia, and you want to try your luck at answering some Black History Trivia, stop by the Black History Month Trivia Table during the lunch periods on Friday, February 25th! All faculty, students, and staff are welcome to try their luck! Correct answers will win a chance to enter a raffle for a $25.00 Door Dash gift card! Stop by this Friday and check it out! Ms. Slay and Mrs. Peoples Dukes look forward to seeing you there!

This is a reminder that the Junior class will be taking the ACT, a state mandated test, this Tuesday, March 1, 2022. Classes for 9, 10 and 11 grade students will be asynchronous.

Students are able to ride the bus to school and get breakfast as on a typical school day. Grab and go lunches will be available once testing is complete for students who requested them . Two opportunities to ride the bus home have been arranged, leaving at 12:45 pm and 2:29 pm. Students should bring calculators and number two pencils. Please encourage your Junior to come rested, nourished and prepared to do their best.
