The 7th and 8th Grade Girls Basketball team have a tournament coming up on November 14th in Alexandria. Notes were sent home last week with players with information and practice times on it. Their first practice is schedule for this Wednesday, at Woonsocket. If some 7th/8th Graders have church and cannot make it to practice that is fine.



The 5th/6th Grade Girls & Boys Basketball Practice and Game Schedule has been added to the Google Drive. There have been updates made to the schedule. Due to conflicts with W. Springs, we have switched the home and away games with Wess. Springs.  We also changed a 4PM start time for Oct. 19. 




Academics

Mitchell Technical Institute will be hosting My Technical Interest Days again this year. Registration forms and additional information about the events can be found atwww.mitchelltech.edu/admissions/campus-events and on the attached flier.

MyTI (pronounced "mighty") Days are an opportunity for students, along withinstructors, counselors, and administrators to visit the programs at Mitchell Technical Institute that are the “next steps” in career clusters of interest. The student may be enrolled those program courses in high school or just have an interest in that area

The following are the dates for the camps:
November 10, 2015 – Business
November 10, 2015 – Cyber
November 18, 2015 – Scrubs
March 8, 2016 – Culinary

You will notice that there is not a grade level of attendance for MyTI Days. I would say that camp is geared more toward that sophomore or junior student that is in the midst of career exploration, but I wouldn't discourage a senior who is trying to figure out what to do next year or a freshman with a great deal of interest in that area to apply either.

Registration is limited, so I would encourage your students to apply early.






Band

Students: The Blackhawks Band is looking for a design to go on their new trailer!! The trailer will be all black. All designs are welcome. Designs will be due Monday morning Nov. 16th when they will be voted on. Winner will receive pizza party for themselves and up to 4 friends!! ​

The new design will be unveiled at the Indoor Marching Band Concert Monday Nov. 16th.

The SC/W FFA membership voted $20 individual dues at the October chapter meeting.  Please get your dues in to the business manager or Mr. Gross by Nov. 30th.





WEPC


The WEPC is selling hats, gloves, scarves, and headbands again! If you would like a form come see Emily.

The WEPC is collecting the following items for our elementary school: Box Tops for Education, Coborn's Labels for Learning (found at the bottom of your Coborn's receipt), Campbell's Soup Labels for Education, pop tabs, and Coca-Cola points. Please save these for us even if you don't have a student in the elementary school as it takes an entire community to help their school thrive.
