Lunch Boxes & Bags and Water Bottles from the "Lost & Found" in the office are on the tables along the wall outside Mr. Zender's office. If you are missing a lunch box or bag or water bottle, take a look!

CONTRIBUTE TO RACHEL'S PANTRY & WIN A TECH HOMEBASE! Rachel's Pantry will be a year-long event, and a competition ranging every quarter. We have boxes placed in 4 spots: The high school stairwell (near the office), underneath Mr. Henry's table, next to Mrs. Tuccillio's door, and next to the science storage room in the 6th grade hallway. The competition will be a clash between the grades, with each box in their respective hallways. The box near the high-school stairwell will be universal to all grade levels. With every can or boxed food item giving +1 point to every grade. The winning grade will get a technology pass in Homebase, allowed to use phones or watch YouTube.
If you are in need of food or snacks for home or lunch, go to Mr. Hafner's moodle page and find Rachel's Pantry in the Useful Links at the top left of the page.
