Santiago’s literacy campaign #SantiagoReads seeks to build classroom libraries to each classroom on campus. As of today, we, with the help of students, parents and community organizations, we’ve supplied roughly 450 books in 33 libraries in 8 department across campus. Right now we’re humbly asking for a few more donations that we’ve denoted on our Amazon Wishlist with the *highest* priority. Click on our Wishlist and in upper right hand corner you can sort the list by priority. We are in desperate need of books for our PE, Special Education, Spanish, and French classes, but any donations will be accepted and appreciated.

1. Seniors! Is there a class clown that deserves recognition? What about a person that's most likely to brighten your day? Or is there a student most likely to win in a bear fight? If so, you should vote for the yearbook senior superlatives! Choose one senior boy and one senior girl for each category. Make sure to include their first and last name. Last day to submit is January 27th. See your email for the voting link and details.
2. Even though the final deadline for submitting your senior's yearbook recognition ad has passed, there is a limited amount of space still available. If your parents would like to submit an ad, please have them do so as soon as possible. Senior ads will be accepted until January 31st. Go to www.theyearbookcompany.com for more information.
   
3. Your diploma will read exactly how it shows on Student Connect. If the punctuation, middle name, or spelling needs to be changed, you must come to the Shark Shop by January 31st!
4. Attention Seniors! Have you taken 3 or more art classes while attending Santiago? You may be eligible for a graduation cord. If you have taken three or more classes, with at least one being an upper level class and earned a B or better, please stop by any of the art teachers classes or see Mrs. Min in P210 to get more information. We want to recognize you at graduation with a cord!
