FROM OUR ASSISTANT HEAD OF SCHOOL
Hello Junior and Senior parents!
This year is off to a fast start! This school year will be full of excitement and milestones for each student. As parents of upper classmen, it is highly encouraged to make an appointment with your cadet's school counselor to review their academic plan to ensure that have everything they need for graduation, whether they graduate this year or next year. It is also important that cadets continue to participate in community service projects to receive hours necessary for graduation.
Speaking of graduation, it will be held on Friday, May 24th at 7pm at Bayside Community Church on State Road 64. More details to come. Additionally, Jostens will be on campus October 29th to present class rings and Senior product options.
If you have questions at any time, please feel free to call or email me.
Looking forward to a fantastic year!
SMA-LTC Abby Williams
Assistant Head of School

YANKEE CANDLE & BED LINEN FUNDRAISERS
Junior State of America (JSA) students are conducting two fundraisers to help pay for travel and competition expenses to Fall State, Spring State, and Winter Congress. At these events, JSA members assume roles as mock legislators at both the state and federal level, draft legislation, and participate in policy debate. Please support their efforts by going on-line to order items direct from the vendors involved with their fundraising campaign.
Yankee Candle
offers beautiful scented candles, tea lights, and decorative candlelit centerpieces that you can purchase at a great price. If you are looking for the perfect holiday home décor item or gift, you can order directly by using the following link:
Once on the site, go to the “Start Shopping” box in the lower right hand corner of your screen. Enter the Group #
990092496
, and begin shopping! You will be amazed at how many lovely items there are to choose from, and they are generally less expensive than at your local retail outlet!
BEAUTIFUL BED LINENS
Everyone can use a new or spare set of bed linens, and via this JSA fundraiser, you can order a variety of colors and sizes for the reasonable price of $39 per set, regardless of size, plus shipping ($5.95). Sets include pillow cases; additional cases can be ordered for $10 for a pack of two plus shipping ($3.00). These sheets are made of super soft, double brushed microfiber yarns and are available in 14 beautiful colors (black, white, aqua, dark red, gold/camel, silver, crème, eggplant, pale pink, dark crème, grey, chocolate brown, navy blue, and sage). Samples of the fabric can be viewed on-line or in Room 23.
