Sign-up forms for appointments will be available all week in the Main Office and we would like to distribute them at this time. Teachers---please count the number of students who would like to donate blood and send a runner to THE COMMONS to get appointment forms. Students need to return the forms to the Student Council box in the Main Office for scheduling. Forms will be returned to students through period 3 teachers tomorrow.

All students who correctly filled out yearbook order interest forms should have received their first yearbook invoice by now. If you haven’t and are still interested in receiving the all-color 2008 yearbook, pick up the website address and the toll free number in the Main Office on the front counter. It is not too late to order; however, prices will increase in April from $45 to $60.
