"Two BOOKS or two BUCKS" --- In honor of our soon-to-graduate seniors, who are headed off to the hallowed halls of higher learning, we are declaring a WEAR YOUR FAVORITE COLLEGE GEAR with JEANS Day - coming up soon this Thursday, April 21, the last day before we break for Easter.
Bringing two NEW or gently used elementary story-books to your homeroom teacher will earn you the right to wear your favorite college gear with jeans. The National Honor Society is having this book drive to provide elementary children's books for a local school and will give our NHS members the opportunity to share some of their time by reading to the elementary students. Your donated books will then be used to stock their school library.
AND... LAST... but NOT LEAST:
The homeroom class with the HIGHEST NUMBER OF BOOKS will earn a pizza lunch!
TWO BOOKS or TWO BUCKS - we'd rather have the books! Honor your seniors, promote literacy and have some fun AND a few slices of pizza! Let the competition begin!
In honor of National Library Week you can return your overdue library books and pay no fines! If you already have fines, stop by the library to have them waived. Check your lockers and your backpacks, this offer is good for THIS WEEK ONLY! Reminder: Bookmark entries are due TOMORROW.

On This Day in History
1970 - Disaster strikes 200,000 miles from Earth when oxygen tank No. 2 blows up on Apollo 13, the third manned lunar landing mission. Astronauts James A. Lovell, John L. Swigert, and Fred W. Haise had left Earth two days before for the Fra Mauro highlands of the moon but were forced to turn their attention to simply making it home alive.
The Word of God for the Day
Ephesians 2:8 For it is by grace you have been saved, through faith, and this is not from yourselves, it is the gift of God.
The Official CCA Bad Joke of the Day
When NASA first started sending up astronauts, they quickly discovered that ballpoint pens would not work in zero gravity. To combat the problem, NASA scientists spent a decade and $12 billion to develop a pen that writes in zero gravity, upside down, underwater, on almost any surface including glass and at temperatures ranging from below freezing to 300°C.
The Russians used a pencil.
