Attention Senior! Our annual Spring Blood Drive is coming up and will be held Friday, March 27th. If you will be 16 years of age by the time of the Blood Drive, you are eligible to participate. You can sign up for a time and get your permission and information sheets in the STUCO Zone during lunch. Permission sheets must be signed by a parent or guardian and brought back by the mandatory donor meeting during either A or D study on Tuesday March 24th. Remember, every donation saves 3 lives!

There have been several flash drives left in the computers in the Write Place. If you think you left one behind, please stop by the Write Place and talk with Ms. Wehrsphann.

A reminder to all juniors that are interested in continuing with the National Honor Society induction process...you must hand in your blue "activities" sheet to Mrs. Fischer or the AP's office by TOMORROW! Thank you!

If you haven't had to opportunity to read the February RAMPAGE, ask your 5th period teacher for a copy! IF they don't have one, they can call the journalism lab at extension 5566, and their papers will be delivered immediately!

There is lots of neat stuff in the RAMPAGE for you to read, and here is a great opportunity to get some great advice... (drum roll please)... The RAMPAGE staff has added a new guest writer to the paper. His name is Sam The Ram, and Sam wants to hear from you! Email Sam at AskSamTheRam@gmail .com. (all lower case, one word). Sam is also in charge of special promotions for the Senior ECHO Yearbook. You can follow Sam on twitter @senior_echo (senior underscore echo) and you can like him on facebook at Senior Echo Yearbook!

Students are highly encouraged to visit these sites so you know important stuff that is going with the RAMPAGE newspaper and the ECHO Yearbook.

Once again, email Sam at asksamtheram@gmail.com! AND remind your teachers to pass out the RAMPAGE to their 5th period class.

Teachers, if you have left-over papers, please take them to the main office, the library or print center. If you are missing your delivery, please call 5566 and a bundle will be brought right to your door - now THAT is true RAMPAGE customer service at its finest!

Additional wellness early bird make up sessions will take place TOMORROW. The following week the early bird session will resume on Thursday, March 5th. If you have any specific questions, please speak directly to your wellness instructor.
