PHS ANNOUNCEMENTS

CHARACTER TRAIT: Compassion & Kindness

“Kindness is one of the greatest gifts you can bestow upon another. If someone is in need lend them a helping hand. Do not wait for a thank you. True kindness lies within the act of giving without the expectation of something in return.”

Lunch: Hot Dog/Relish, Baked Chips, Beans, Carrot Stix/Dip, Pudding Cup, Fruit Cocktail & Milk

LOST & FOUND: A camo coat has been turned into the office. Come to the office to claim.

ATTENTION STUDENTS & PARENTS: We are currently having some safety issues with students not using the crosswalks that are painted on the road. Please be reminded to use these areas when exiting/going to vehicles in the mornings/afternoons or crossing the road. It only takes a few more seconds of your time. Remember this is for your safety. Thank you! Officer Lane

SENIORS, please turn in the picture you want to use for your composite in the yearbook if it is a senior picture. If you choose to use your picture from Prestige this summer, you need to let me know. -Mrs. Sullinger DEADLINE: FEB. 6.
