CAYLIN B
Hey Pioneers, Caylin B, Junior Peer Minister here with your Ministry Minute. Doing Service is something that can be fun during the Holiday season with Family and Friends! It is also something that should continue throughout the year! On the Google Service Classroom, we have so many wonderful opportunities to help out! We have Boy’s Basketball Concession Volunteers that are needed. We also have an opportunity to help out after school at North Metro Flex, an elementary school in North St. Paul, Play Bingo with residents at an Assisted Living Center, or participate in the Polar Plunge, these are all on the Service Google Classroom and you can always talk or email Ms. Fandrich about these service opportunities!~ Remember to submit your service on the tracker, and turn it in—so Ms. Fandrich can see it. Just a reminder to NHS applicants, your service is due by Friday, Jan. 17th to count towards acceptance!

KADEN W
Hi pioneers! My name is Kaden W, and my favorite Christmas toy was a star wars lego set. I loved how the smallest of pieces could come together to make something really cool.
This year, I will donate a toy to the NHS Christmas toy drive to pass on the joy I had as a kid. I encourage everyone to rekindle their childhood memories and consider bringing in a new and unwrapped toy donation to the sleigh in front of the auditorium. Donations will go to The Toy Shelf in North St Paul. Thanks, and have a great day.

This is a friendly reminder that on Wednesday late start mornings: All students are asked to stay in the cafeteria or commons area until 8:30 AM. Please do not enter the academic wing until then. Thank you for your attention to this!
______
We are BACK IN UNIFORM for the rest of this week. Please make sure you aren’t wearing sweat pants or yoga pants, jackets, or long sleeved items under short sleeved polos. Gentlemen, please be sure you are clean shaven. If you aren’t able to meet our uniform criteria, it is usually fixable! Please stop down to the Office of Student Life to fix it!
_______
On Friday we are celebrating an early Christmas Mass! Although we are in uniform, we are going to try to make it a green and/ or whiteout, so if you have any spirit wear tops that are green or white, please plan to wear those on FRIDAY!!
_________
Finally, it is Yondr time! Students, please take out your phones and your open Yondr pouch. Your teachers will ask you to lock it away for the day. Our goal is to be phone free from the start of school until 2:40. It’s always best to have your Yondr locked when it’s empty in your backpack, as that will help keep the locking pin safe. Simply unlock your Yondr on the way into school each day, and after you release it at the end of the day, close and lock your Yondr again before you put in your backpack.
