Chapel
For the third straight week, multiple high school seniors stood before their peers to share a word of encouragement and instruction during our chapel series entitled: "Senior Moments." Seniors Noah Grimes, Sofia Varela, and Matt Fourman addressed the student body this week. We continue to hear conversations from students during the day who have been inspired and challenged by what they hear from these students at chapel. Noah Grimes taught us what it looks like to "own" our faith, Sophia reminded us to find our worth in the Lord instead of fleeting endeavors, and Matt warned us against living a stagnant life but rather to throw off the obstacles that would keep us from running well. Summer is almost here! We conclude the final chapel series of the year next Thursday.
Yearbook Distribution
Seniors were able to pick up their yearbooks this past week. Freshman, Sophomores, and Juniors are now able to pick up their yearbooks during the lunch hour each day at the small conference room next to the high school front office. Be sure to listen to the morning announcements for any additional times to pick up your yearbook.

Cross Curriculum Activity
Is it math? Is it science? It’s BOTH! Honors Geometry students completed an introductory physics lab to put their math skills to work in determining the density of unknown substances. It was the perfect opportunity to apply what they’ve learned in their math class about density and the volume of three dimensional shapes to a science lab situation.
Honor’s Night
When: Tuesday, May 18
Where: Football Stadium
Time: 7pm - 8pm

Honors night is our annual celebration of our students who have demonstrated outstanding achievement through various areas of student involvement. This is also the time when awards, stoles and cords will be distributed to our graduates. All students being recognized on honors night will receive a special invitation. However, we would love for all of the Senior class to attend as we will have a "Grateful Graduates and Goodies" reception after the honors night presentation (approx 8-8:30).

End of the Year Schedule for Underclassmen
Let the countdown to Summer break begin! We just have three full weeks of classes remaining and then
May 24th- 26th is a modified schedule.
Each course will provide specific details to the students regarding the expectations for the end of the semester. For this year, there will be no final exam worth a percentage of the grade but rather students can expect to finish their final units with a project or other smaller graded assessment which will average into the semester grade. Let's do this! We are looking forward to seeing you all tomorrow!
