Today is a Maroon Day

1.  "All students must remember to use the conditioning equipment on the playground (i.e. the pull-down, the leg press, and the chest press) as instructed at the beginning of the school year.  In particular, those using this equipment must ease the bars back into their resting positions when finished rather than simply letting go and allowing them to slam back into place.  This damages the equipment that we want to keep available  and in good shape for all who use it."

2.   **Student council proudly presents this year’s Candy Grams are officially going on sale Monday, November 28th through Friday, December 9th.  *Buy one for a friend or staff member, and a student council member will deliver it sometime during the week of December 12th.
