Good morning Shells! Today is Wednesday, December 13th.
Please stand for a moment of silence after the Pledge of Allegiance.
I pledge allegiance to the flag of the United States of America,
and to the Republic for which it stands, one Nation under God, indivisible, with liberty and justice for all.
The deadline to join Saturday Scholars is this Friday, December 15th. Please return the student information sheet and money to Ms. Fleming or Miss Pointer.
We have a big week of home basketball games. The REEF themes for the week are:
Thursday Girls Basketball: Ugly Sweater Night
Friday Boys Basketball: Silent Night
Both games are against Wood River at home. If you have any questions about the themes, what to wear, need help with ideas or anything like that, see Nick Newton.
Boys varsity & jv bowling defeated Steeleville in a Cahokia conference match last night. Bowling is back in action tonight against cross town rival Civic Memorial.
Semester One Final exams begin tomorrow and take place over the course of three days.
Thursday, December 14th: Exams for class periods 1, 2, and 3
Friday, December 15th: Exams for class periods 4 and 5
Monday, December 18th: Exams for class periods 6 and 7
Tuesday, December 19th: Exam make-up day. This day is reserved in case we have a snow day during exams or if you miss an exam. Students will only need to attend on Tuesday the 19th if you have missed an exam or if we had a snow day during one of the other three final exam days.
Speaking of final exams, Charley, the therapy dog, will be here on Thursday and Friday morning to help students relax before final exams. If a student is interested in time with Charley, you can sign up with Mrs. Davis in the Guidance Office. Charley time begins at 7:20 with 5 minute time increments until 7:45. No one will be allowed time with Charley without signing up as we don't want to overwhelm Charley.
Today is an RTI/Academic Support Wednesday. This is a great opportunity to get some extra help from teachers right before final exams. If you are not required to stay for Academic Support, students may leave at 1:30pm.
Make it a great day, Shells!
