TRANSCRIPT REQUEST

A huge "BRAVO!" to Ms. Goodman and the cast of The Stinky Cheese Man...and other Fairly Stupid Tales for two great shows on Friday and Saturday night!

Students can participate in Spirit Week this week leading up to prom on Thursday. Those who choose not to participate by dressing in the themes are to dress according to the regular dress code. A couple of reminders from the handbook that apply either way are below. If you have to ask yourself whether or not something is appropriate, it probably is not.

A student’s attire should reflect the Christian values of modesty and respect for the individual person and the school community at all times while on campus and at all school-sponsored activities.
If a student is wearing outerwear that includes a hood, at no time should the hood be on their head.
Clothing must fit appropriately. Anything that is overly tight or form-fitting is not considered modest and therefore not acceptable. Clothes should also not be too baggy, ripped, or tattered. There should be no cleavage and no bare midriffs, whether this is caused by tops “rising up” or bottoms “riding down.”
At no time are the following items appropriate to wear during the school day: hats inside the building, pajama and athletic pants (except Monday or Thursday in this case), and short running shorts.

We look forward to seeing everyone's creativity!

Prom is this Thursday from 8:00-11:00 p.m. at Stokes Family Farm. Tickets are $30 each through today and go up to $40 on Monday, April 22. Since prom day is a half day of school, students must attend all of their classes on Thursday if they intend to go to prom.
