10:05 Today’s Notes & Attendance

Congratulations all SkillsUSA Competitors – Great Work!

Today is a Wacky Wednesday

Actors Wanted!– looking for a couple to assist with the creation of a bus safety video

Friday, CAWD II is going to the SkillsUSA Awards Lunch. It’s a celebration for your hard work preparing for SkillsUSA and the competition itself. We will hopefully be back for the bus, but we may be late. Arrange for a ride home as a backup plan. If this does not work for you – you will stay in Student Services for the day.

  • Lunch attendees are required to wear white shirt / polo and dark pants and shoes.
  • We are leaving at 10:30am

Let’s get the room put back together. Help your neighbor. Clean, polish, dust you know the drill. Snowflakes are coming down (from our classroom) today too. Let’s go Spring!
