"The Best Christmas Pageant Ever" is known to have an edge -- but presented from a child's point of view,
 the edge is funny, irreverent, and irresistible.  The Brookwood production runs  December 11-13.  
Academics

Before final exams, students must clear up overdrawn cafeteria accounts, return overdue books, and pay any fines at the Media Center in order to take exams as scheduled. Also, teachers will be checking textbooks for each course; some courses require that the book be turned in before exam day. All Media Center and cafeteria fines could be paid online at MyPaymentsPlus.

The last chance before finals for peer tutoring after school, courtesy of the Beta Club, is the week of December 8. Come to Room B35, Monday-Thursday, 2:25-3:25 p.m. for help. 
Broncos Rebecca Blankenship and Ryan Capone are two of 15 students selected from across the district to serve on the inaugural Green-Youth Advisory Council (Green-YAC), a Gwinnett Clean & Beautiful program.

Let us know how we're doing.  We invite you to take the parent perception survey anytime until December 12. It can be found at the parent portal when you log in, or you may come to our Media Center to complete it.
