What a great week honoring all the academic awards. I want to recognize three class awards that were mistakenly omitted from Honors Night. We honored so many students that night, I want to be sure these students realize how important their contributions to their classroom as well.
11th Grade Katie Lants – Medal – Pre-AP Spanish IV
11th Grade Sarah Alshami – Certificate – Pre-AP Spanish IV
11th Grade Drew Schmitz – Certificate – Pre-AP Spanish IV
12th Grade Anna Kathleen Plyler – Medal – Microbiology
12th Grade Anna Kathleen Plyler Medal – Government
11th Grade Sky Shaver Certificate – Microbiology
12th Grade Bayley Gregory Certificate – Government
Congratulate all the US Honors winners when you see them. Their hard work and success is commendable. I am so proud of all our students!
This week is a lively week at PA.
· Mr. Topich, Mr. Musgrove and Mrs. Woody are escorting 24 students to see the Dalai Lama in Fayetteville today and tomorrow.
· Spring Choral Concert on Tuesday evening at 7:00 pm in the CPAC.
· Wednesday night baseball and soccer games will also be the senior night for spring sports.
· Spring Band Concert on Thursday evening at 7:00 pm in the CPAC.
· Friday is Senior Signing Day at 12:30 pm. Friday is a B7 day. All seniors are expected to be in class getting their reviews, finishing up final work, turning in papers, etc. Seniors will be dismissed from class at 12:15 to congregate in the upper senior lot. Then they will do the traditional run through the halls and end up in the upper gym for signing day. Signing day is a VERY SPECIAL EVENT! The entire school is invited to attend. After signing day, seniors will leave campus and go to a lunch provided by Mr. Johnson and myself at the Meyer Student Center. Lunch is from 1 pm to 2 pm. Seniors will be dismissed at 2:00 pm to leave. They MUST leave campus as soon as lunch is over.
Senior exams begin on Monday. I know the juniors will be anxious to park in the coveted “senior lot”. However, they must hold off the take over until all senior exams are completed.
Our soccer and baseball teams begin their state tournament games this weekend. Soccer plays Friday and baseball plays Saturday. Check the athletics website for game times and directions. Go Bruins!
Also let me tell you that our MS/US parents and student drivers were awarded in the Arkansas Smart Drive Challenge for the Best Overall Seat Belt Use! Way to be safe drivers!
Stay tuned to my next posting…..
