There IS school on Monday, May 26th. Memorial Day is NOT a holiday.

Bill has rescinded the ban on SLC Presidential Election posters with the understanding that there will be no more destruction or defacing of any candidates' posters. Any future destruction or defacing = permanent ban.

The girls' buses need to be swept and trash cans emptied daily. Passengers are reminded that when they disembark, they should take any trash from their area and put it in one of the trash cans. The larger bus, the newer one, is beginning to smell. Bus monitors need to do a better job or alert Bill about the worst offenders. Next step if the situaion does not improve quickly: no more food or drinks on bus.

There will be a teacher candidate on campus today.

Advisory Tomorrow 2nd period.

Carl's Advisory: come see him during lunch tomorrow in his class around noon to talk about a surprise.

Baseball uniforms and hats must be turned in by Monday.

Ongoing Announcements:

Check out the collages by the Creative Media students on exhibit at the Fotofest Gallery (1113 Vine St.) downtown through May 22. Congratulations to Nayib for his wonderful reading of his essay at the opening on Sunday.

There will be a sign-up sheet put on the library door this week asking for volunteers to work at Summer Session. Anyone may sign up, but YOU WILL BE ASKED TO ATTEND by Kathy and Bill. We only need a certain number of students, and those students will be picked by the faculty. Please sign up only if you are 9th-12th grade.

It is spring time, and we have only 3 weeks of school left. There are some rules that are consistently being violated, which are listed below. Anyone violating these rules will be sent to detention either this Friday or next Friday:

Couples: The handbook states: Physical expressions of affection are inappropriate. This includes all forms of physical contact, including holding hands.

Clothing: The handbook states: Length of shorts or skirts: when the student holds her arm down to the side, shorts and skirts must be no shorter than where her palm hits.

Tops: must NOT be halter tops or spaghetti straps style tops. Cleavage, bare stomach and rear ends must not show. You should not be able to see under-garments through the outer clothes.

Dresses: Should not be slit past the knee and should not expose cleavage, midriff or lower back or other parts of the body.

PE Clothes: May be shorter, but must be loose, and the student should be able to move freely. Tee shirts must be worn to PE.

These clothing rules apply to every day at school and also to graduation or any event outside of school that is school sponsored. If you come to Graduation dressed inappropriately, you will be asked to leave.

Gum: No gum is allowed on the campus.

Please be on the lookout for Ms Virginia's kitchen keys.

Students going to Montana and Yosemite this summer must submit their forms to Kathy today.

All Library Books are due May 19. Also, please be on the look-out for "lost books."

Juniors and Seniors: Kathy would like to remind all of you to send thank-you emails or letters (letters are better) to your mentors or to your host from yesterday. Everyone I talked to seemed to have a great day, and the mentors need to hear that. Also, it would be great if a few of you wrote an article for the Burr on what you learned from your day at work.

Lost and Found:

Lost: Yessica is looking for her purple and green-striped composition notebook. It has her name on the cover. If you find it, please return it to her.

Found: One "silver" earring found on the track by the volleyball court. See Carl to claim.

Lost: Teresa Reyes has misplaced two silver rings. If you know of their whereabouts, please let her know.
