Good morning cougar nation!  We like to start each day here on the hill with a moment of silence.  Please pause with me now for a brief moment of respectful silence.

Now let’s stand for the pledge of allegiance to the flag:

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.

Class of 2019 – Just a reminder seniors you are taking a National ACT today. Your scores are reported to colleges and scholarship organizations.

Students remember to:

1.        This is a FREE opportunity to take the ACT during the school day!

2.        You must have an ACT score to graduate. It is a state graduation requirement!  We have had students in the past to not  get to walk down the hill because they did not take the act.

3.        Answer EVERY question in the time provided for that section of the test.  For example – If you have ten unanswered questions at the end of test 2 and the room supervisor announces “you have 5 minutes remaining” pick a letter and fill in circles for those 10 questions.

4.        Pace yourself

5.        Remember you need sharpened #2 pencils (no mechanical pencils)

6.        Calculators are allowed on the math section, but one is not required

7.        Leave cell phones, smart watches, fitness bands and any other devices with recording, internet, communication or calculator capabilities at home or in a safe location during the test. These items are not allowed in the test room or in the hallway during break. Leave them in a safe location outside of the test room. 

This afternoon we will have our reward day for achieving a level 5 school.  We will all get a free lunch today in the cafeteria and then have a play day at the football stadium.  Similar to last year we will have several interactive games and inflatables to have fun on.  Congratulations on achieving the highest level a school can receive!

The cougars of the day is.  We would like to wish a happy birthday for birthday.
