Tomorrow is the PSAT test for all 9th, 10th, 11th and some 12th grade students. Please check your email from Mrs. Cantagallo-Rohm with regard to room assignments. Those that are testing need to have a charged chromebook, charger, ID and something to write with. The test has a calculator within it but you are welcome to bring a calculator as well. For those that are not testing, you need to be here for your first academic class (could be L1 or L2 for those with labs on a C day) . There will only be one bus run. All students in the building and not testing will report to the auditorium. AM Polytech will run for Seniors not testing. PM Polytech and PM Animal Science will run as usual. I sent an email out yesterday with the schedule so be sure to check it.
For those of you that ordered one of the Black Built Voorhees Tough shirts or sweatshirts for Friday nights Milk Can Game (through the FB Booster Club), your items are in. Please stop by room 135 (door next to the new cafe) to pick up your order.
The themed dress day for Wednesday is Adam Sandler Day so feel free to wear some baggy clothing, some sweats or long shorts, maybe a flannel or really big polo shirt. Participation will NOT be collected.
Non Perishable Food items can be brought in and dropped off in the green bins outside of room 135 which is right across from the elevators on the first floor – be sure to put them in the bin for your class. A list of items has been sent out so be sure to check it in order to help out local families. Key club advisors and officers will weigh the food to see which grade brings in the most! There are bonus items which include:
