Veterans Day Assembly
Dear Parents/Guardians,
We will be holding a Veterans Day assembly to honor all those who have served, and are currently serving our country. As part of that assembly, we would like to put together a slide show. If you would be willing to share any pictures of family members or friends who are veterans with us so we can include them in our presentation, that would be wonderful. Please send them to our school registrar, Becky Provstgaard and becky.provstgaard@nebo.edu.
Also, we invite all student to bring a Veteran (family, friends, neighbors) to our assembly so we can honor them. The assembly will be on Friday, November 10th from 8:45 - 10:45.
Thank you so much for your help with this. We're excited to honor all our veterans.

On Thursday, October 26th, Sources of Strength and our Country Line Dance Club are sponsoring their 2nd HEALTHY ACTIVITIES event during lunch. Come to the Little Theater to learn how to dance Michael Jackson's THRILLER! Then put this skill to use during the dance that night!
Thank you to Sources of Strength for providing the Obstacle Course event for October's Healthy Activities. What a fun day of watching student race up and down laughing!

Landon McNeil got 9th in the JV race. These athletes also got their best time of the season, Bensen Ransom, Bowen Romney, Landon McNeil, Thomas Hunter, Anna Wright, Grace Brinkerhoff, and Megan Brogdon. We had such a great season with a lot of improvement and fun. We will be having a Cross Country party Tuesday 17th right after school in Mrs. Prestwich's room #28. Please bring your jerseys!

Join FCCLA!
If you are in a Family and Consumer Science class (a class from Mrs. Thacker or Mr. Cloward) sometime this year you can join FCCLA. FCCLA is the CTSO (Career and Technical Student Organization) for Family and Consumer Sciences. Joining FCCLA allows you to participate in lunch activities, after school activities, region activities, region competition and possibly state competition. It's a great way to make friends, learn more about Family and Consumer Sciences, possibly get future scholarships, and gain leadership and life skills.
It costs $25.00 to join FCCLA. If you are interested in joining, talk to Mrs. Thacker or Mr. Cloward and/or pay $25.00 in the finance office.
Student Lunch Workers Needed!
Chromebook Insurance
Students have now been issued a chromebook that will be used at school as well as taken home each day to work on homework. We encourage students to carry their chromebook in their backpack or a protective case to keep it from getting damaged. The cost to replace a damaged or stolen chromebook is $300 and will be charged to the student unless an optional $30 Protection Plan is purchased at the beginning of the school year. WE HIGHLY RECOMMEND PURCHASING THIS PROTECTION PLAN ALSO KNOWN AS CHROMEBOOK INSURANCE IN CASE OF LOSS OR DAMAGE
The Protection Plan may be paid online through myschoolfees.com under "optional fee." It may also be paid by calling the finance office, coming into the school or sending payment with your student.
Even if you have already opted to participate in the Nebo Chromebook Protection Plan when filling out the Chromebook Usage Agreement you still need to pay the $30 fee in order for the Plan to be in effect. Please see Mrs. Fay in the finance office.
