Seniors – this Friday is your senior retreat day.  Over the years, seniors have given great reviews for this day – mainly because the day provides fun, a chance to celebrate your class as a whole, and a chance to think about how you will start to say goodbye to this chapter of your life.  The retreat is this Friday from 8:00 am to 2:15 pm, and you will meet at HM first and then take a bus to an offsite location.  Parent permission is needed – your parents received a link from Dr. Skinner last Friday.

 * Hi Pioneers! It’s peer minister Maria Conger with your Ministry Minute. I wanted to shout out a fantastic service opportunity that you can participate in. Did you know that you can volunteer at a public school near you? That’s right. On any days off that we have during the school year, you can donate your time to help an elementary school teacher. You can assist their classroom in multiple ways, whether printing and cutting papers, correcting student work, or even helping with teaching the students. You can learn more about volunteerism in schools near you by going to the school or district website to see what opportunities are available and sign up. This is another reminder that all service requirement hours are due before May 1st on Google Classroom. You can count and track anything you did this past Summer until May 1st. After May 1st, a new tracker will be uploaded for next year! If you have any questions or concerns, feel free to talk with Ms. Fandrich.
