A change to the 2013-14 District Calendar was necessary due to the state testing schedule. We had a snow day scheduled for Friday, May 23. That has since become a testing day. The 3rd snow day has now been changed to Wednesday, May 28. Click here for a copy of the new calendar.

New AMERICAN RED CROSS CANNED FOOD DRIVE
The American Red Cross club is currently holding a canned food drive to benefit the local food pantries and soup kitchens during the upcoming holiday season. There are collection boxes located in all history classrooms, in addition to the main office and guidance suite. Please consider donating the following: canned chicken and tuna, stuffing mixes, canned yams, cranberry sauce, boxed mashed potatoes, canned fruit, canned vegetables, canned or dry packets of gravy, biscuit or muffin mixes, boxed desserts, shampoo, razors, deodorant, soap, toothbrushes, toothpaste. Thank you for your help!
ATTENTION BOOSTER CLUBS, FOUNDATIONS, PARENT ORGANIZATIONS REQUESTING FUND RAISER APPROVAL
Any approved parent organization that wishes to do a fund raiser must complete a Fund Raiser Application Form for each event each year and submit it to the Principal for approval. The principal will then forward the form to the Superintendent's Office for the Board of Education's review and approval. Please submit this form as soon as you know of the fund raiser. It must be received at least 2 weeks before the next BOE meeting so it can be placed on the agenda for that night. It would be best to submit it a couple of months in advance so you can make plans for the fund raiser. Click here for a copy of the form.

GREEN TEAM RECYCLING REMINDER
The Green Team would like to remind everyone to recycle. There are recycling bins spread throughout the school and the cafeteria. Please use them!
"The case for recycling is strong. The bottom line is clear. Recycling requires a trivial amount of our time. Recycling saves money and reduces pollution. Recycling creates more jobs than landfilling or incineration. And a largely ignored but very important consideration, recycling reduces our need to dump our garbage in someone else's backyard."
-- David Morris of the Institute for Local Self-Reliance
NHS PEER TUTORING PROGRAM
The National Honor Society members offer an in-school tutoring program for any high school students who need extra help in their classes. Students who need extra help will be matched with a NHS member who will meet them once a week during a shared free period. This weekly meeting will continue as long as the student needing help stays in contact with their matched NHS member. If any student is interested in being matched with a tutor, they are to fill out a form that can be found in Guidance or here and bring it to Ms. Murphy (Room B205). Please contact Ms. Murphy (tmurphy@shsd.org ) if you have any further questions."
