Student Announcements

Anyone planning on attending Prom:  You must be academically eligible to attend Prom.  Before buying tickets and prom apparel be sure that you are eligible.  If you have any questions please see Mr. Lake.

From now until the end of the year no student is allowed in the building from 3:45 until 4:30 unless you are in detention or working with a teacher.  After 4:30 no student is allowed in the building unless it is official school business.  No loitering will be tolerated. 

Seniors:  Please turn in your senior picture to the Douglas Budget ASAP for the senior edition.

SENIORS:
A new scholarship has just arrived:  It is called the Dennis K. Rogers Memorial Scholarship and is for seniors pursuing a career in an agricultural or mechanical field.  Please pick up an application in Guidance.  Deadline:  April 15, 2008, to Guidance.

SENIORS:  Reminder that most local scholarship applications are due to the Guidance Office by today!

Just a reminder, you still have time to sign up for Baseball and Softball.
As of now we only have 3 signed up for the Jr Babe Ruth Division…. so stop by the Rec Center to sign up.  

Job Opportunity:  The city of Douglas is looking for summer help.  Starting pay is $10 per hour.  Pick up an application at City Hall or Douglas Job Service.   Applications will be accepted until the positions are filled.  You will need a copy of your driver’s license with your application.

Seniors:  If anyone is still looking for graduation announcements at a discounted price, please let Mrs. Lane know.  A family ordered too many from Jostens’s and wants to help someone else out

Attention All Seniors:
Wednesday, April 2nd all seniors will not have regular classes because of 9-11 testing.  All seniors will be able to sleep in and be at the auditorium at 10:00.  At 10:15 there will be a scholarship drawing for those in attendance.  Representatives from Converse County Bank will complete a presentation up to lunch.  After that time all seniors are invited to Pizza Hut to eat a buffet lunch paid for by the school to celebrate their PAWS scores from last year.  At 1:00 there will be a second meeting in the auditorium to discuss the senior sendoff activities and Making It Count presentation.  All seniors who check in will be eligible for the $100.00 scholarship drawings.  There will be at least 5 drawings throughout the activities on Wednesday.  Mr. Weigel
