CONGRATULATIONS: Congratulations to the JV Badminton Team for defeating Lake Forest on Monday, Maine East on Tuesday and Maine South yesterday!
STUDENTS: April is National Poetry Month. The LRC is celebrating with a Blackout poetry event that will run all month long. Come to the LRC and pick up one of our black out sheets and create your own blackout poem. Turn it in at the front desk, and after review, we will post it in our display cabinet! We hope to have no blank space by the end of the month.
STUDENTS: Did you have a job in 2018? Did you know that you may be eligible to get a tax refund? So far, Accounting Club has helped students like you get back $1,400 in tax refunds. The April 15 deadline is approaching fast, so now is the time to get your tax return done. Sign up for free help from an Accounting Club student by snapping the QR code on flyers around the school.
