Message from Mr. Ulbrich
Just a few weeks of school left. Now is the time to check on your child's grades. Check your Infinite Campus portal to keep up on assignments and nine week grades. Teachers should have assignments up to date and will be communicating if there are concerns about academic progress.
Student Fees
We would like to remind you that as we approach the end of the 2016-2017, school year any school fees owed are due at this time. Any other obligations such as previous years school fees, lost library books, activity money not collected, sports uniforms not turned in are also due. SENIORS ONLY: MAY 5, 2017 WILL BE THE LAST DAY WE ACCEPT A PERSONAL CHECK FOR ANY FEES OWED. After this date we will only accept a certified check, money order or credit card.

Swab a Cheek, Save a Life in memory of Lauryn Oliphant
Do you want to save a life of someone with leukemia? On May 16th during lunch in commons, we will be asking students and staff 18 to 44 years old to take the first step to help someone with leukemia. It takes less than a minute to swab the inside of your cheek to see if you could be a match for somebody with leukemia.
The thought of giving bone marrow may sound scary but the majority of the time it is like giving blood. By swabbing you are not under any contract, but this is a serious committment. If you are a match for someone with leukemia, a doctor from the registry will talk to you about the procedure. For more information, go to the Gift of Life website https://www.giftoflife.org/ or see a video about Swab a Cheek, Save a Life https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7AH6Nog0FNM. You can also contact me at (614)755-2757 or email me at kevinm21000@gmail.com
I Run for Jonah

We will be selling T-shirts the last week of April in the lunch room/ school store. This is another way we raise funds for the family.
Thank you for your support.
