FAST will be held this Friday from 7:30 to 8:30 in the Senior library. If you need help with a test/quiz, assignment, or a quiet place to study, please be at the cafeteria doors this Friday at 7:30 for FAST. Hope to see you there.

Women’s Swimming and Diving Senior Night: The Women’s Swimming and Diving team will be hosting our annual Senior night tonight, September 29, at Hempstead pool. We will be recognizing our seniors and taking on Hempstead in a dual meet at 6 PM. We’re hoping to pack the pool as we look to extend our streak of intracity dual meet wins to 9.

Students will NOT be allowed to bring backpacks into games at Nora Gym or Dalzell Field. Please leave those things in your vehicle or lockers. Bags will be taken and kept in the ticket office until the end of the contests. The best plan is to not bring them at all.

Attention, debaters! Our first practice will be held THURSDAY after school at 2:30. We will meet in A124 and practice will last until around 4pm. Remember that Thursday practices are mandatory. Anyone who was unable to attend the information meetings but wants to join is welcome to attend. See you there!
