Your attendance at Dubuque Senior High School is very important to us! Last school year we had 98 students with perfect attendance first semester, 40 students second semester, and 23 that did not miss a school day all year! We applaud students who make their presence at school a priority when they can and they were rewarded with some lunch and/or Booster bucks to purchase some spirit gear. That could be you this year! Way to go RAMS!

A representative from Kirkwood Community College’s automotive program will be here on Wednesday the 28th. The rep will be here to talk about their Toyota, Lexus, Honda, and Acura certification programs and opportunities in the automotive industry. If interested, stop down to Mr. Zuck’s room (E11) 1st through 4th period or stop by the Councilors Office during 5th period to visit with the Kirkwood College Rep.

Math Club will meet Tuesday morning at 7:05 in Mrs. Jorgenson's room, A326. We are exploring how math makes colors on electronics! Join us!

Are you interested in going to the Shedd Aquarium and Adler Planetarium in Chicago on October 4th? Mr. Kohl is now opening the trip up to students participating in a science course at Senior. You can get permission slips from Mr. Kohl in room B233.

The total cost of the trip is $75. Seats are first come first serve and filling fast so payment and permission slips need to be turned in by October 2nd. Thank You.

Our October Book Club books are in! We will be reading I'll Give You the Sun by Jandy Nelson. Twins Noah and Jude share an almost telepathic bond until they are torn apart by tragedy and jealousy. This story alternates between Noah’s 13-year-old perspective of the earlier years and 16-year-old Jude telling the story of the later years. The problem keeping them from getting close again, is that each of them only has half the story. Stop by and get your copy of the book to keep!

The Discovery Club will be visiting the Maquoketa Caves State Park on Sunday, October 2 from noon to 4:30. Come along to walk the main cave and trails and slink through the smaller caves on your hands and knees. See Ms. Pfohl in B-249 or Mrs. Koch in A-226 for permission forms. Our next meeting is Thursday at 7:15 in B-249.

Are you interested in acting, singing, dancing, improv, or short film? Join the award-winning Senior High Speech Team for an introductory meeting on Wednesday September 28th at 2:30 in the Lamb-Hedeman Auditorium. Any questions see Mr. Dean in room A209 or Mr. Ernzen in room B237. See you there.
