STUDENT NOTES
Attention Freshmen: We are still looking for someone to run for Class Treasurer. If you are interested, pick up an application in Student Services and return it to Mr. Roark by this Friday.

Students who need community service hours can find a list of opportunities posted outside Mr. Roark’s office. The community service form has been changed this year and both sides must be completed properly to receive credit. Incomplete forms will be returned. You can pick up a new form in Student Services.
A word to the wise… avoid having your cell phone or iPod confiscated by remembering that you can only use them before 7:00 am and after 2:30 pm.... and no ski caps or hoods until the official Lincoln cold weather season begins November 1st. Baseball caps are always taboo.

The San Jose City Council is looking for two students to serve on the Youth Commission.  The goal of the Youth Commission is to foster student involvement in municipal government.  Contact Mr. Roark for more information.

Seniors: there will be a mandatory class meeting Thursday, September 11th at lunch in Ms. Handschuh’s room; 72.  Please come to talk about fundraising, class shirts and all that good stuff.  See you there!!!

Students:  Just a reminder regarding your lockers!  Do not put back packs, skate boards, dance bags or sports bags in your locker.  Anything pressing against the door or the locking device may cause it to jam.  We will open it for you two times only; after that, your locker privileges will be revoked, the combination will be changed, and the locker will be assigned to a student on the wait-list.
