Please try to attend this session so we can ensure your photo is in the book. See Mrs. Kelley or a yearbook staff member for more information!
Attention Art Clubbers! Due to Parent-Teacher Conferences, there will be NO Art Club meeting next week, Thursday, November 17th. BUT, to make up for it, this week we will run later because we will be printmaking!! You can bring in your own white or light-colored shirt (or whatever fabric article of your choice) to print your very own unique image onto. If you do not have something to bring, Mason will provide an alternative for you! Come on down this Thursday for some fun and easy printmaking!!
Reminder to all students... Lunch money is no longer taken in the cafeteria. All lunch money needs to be dropped off in the money box placed in the front office prior to 11:00. If your money isn't in the office prior to 11:00 there is no guarantee that it will get into your account the same day, and may prevent you from getting extra items. Thank you for your cooperation!!
NPHS Student Council Canned Food Drive will run through Friday, Nov. 11th (4:00pm). This event brings in tens of thousands of food items for North Platte and Lincoln County food banks. These food items are made available to families in need here in our area only. These families include friends, neighbors, and fellow classmates. A list with the point totals will be distributed to each teacher and will be posted around the school, or they can be picked up from Mr. Bruck in room 2201.
Each grade will be tied to an administrator. For the grades that meet their goal, the administrator assigned to that class will have to kiss a pig in front of the student body during a school wide assembly. A Bulldog Time competition will also take place for the Canned Food Drive. The Bulldog Time that brings the most items, will earn Casey’s breakfast pizza.
Start collecting today!!!
