PLEDGE OF ALLEGIANCE & MOMENT OF SILENCE
TODAY IS A “B” DAY
“AND NOW FOR YOUR MORNING ANNOUNCEMENTS.”
FALL BREAK IS OCTOBER 2 – 6, 2023
ATTENTION STUDENTS: If you missed picture make-up day yesterday, here at Damonte Ranch, Bell Photography will be having a make-up day at their Studio on Wednesday, October 4. You can call them at 775 852-0784.
We will be having a ski team meeting Friday Oct 13th at lunch in room 152. Please come by if you have skied before and are interested in joining the team.
Hey Mustangs! Come out and support the band in their first competition on Saturday at Galena at 2 pm.
Fall Break is next week and so is Banned Books Week. In the last couple of years there has been a huge increase in people seeking to remove books they find distasteful from libraries. Libraries are all about intellectual freedom – your right to think for yourself. Stop by the library and check out one of the frequently challenged and/or banned books from the display to read over break and make up your own mind. You might be surprised what books are included.
Nevada Reading Week is coming up in March and if you are the groovy artistic type, you could win money for designing the Nevada Reading Week logo! The theme is “Embrace the Magic of Reading” and the grand prize winner will see their design featured statewide on apparel, social media, etc. It’s a win-win! The Grand Prize is a $150 gift card and Honorable Mention receives a $75 gift card. Designs must be submitted by September 29th. See Ms. Decker in the library for all the details.
Juniors and Seniors: Are you fluent in a language other thanEnglish? Then test for the Seal of Biliteracy on October 19th! The cost is $35 and the last day to sign up is October 13th . See Mrs. Godoy in room 254 to sign up or for more information.
That’s all for your morning Announcements.
And remember: Educate, Impower and Inspire
Have a great day, Damonte!
