Ella Serrano
Congratulations to the 4 chosen! The honors festival will take place next weekend at Wapakoneta High School.
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.
God's Knights: All middle school students are invited to join Kat Patterson every Wednesday during lunch for God's Knights! This will be a time of encouragement in your day! We will meet in Mr. Bunn's room, bring your lunch. We hope to see you there!
Breakfast snacks are available daily in the high school cafeteria. You can charge items to your lunch account or you may pay with cash. We are open to the students in between morning class periods, but if you would like to come and grab something you may at any time during the morning. Bottled water is also available for purchase.
