Did you know Hanukkah is significant because when a Temple in Jerusalem was destroyed, a small jar of oil was found and lit. There was only enough oil to burn for one day, but miraculously, the oil burned for 8 days until new oil could be found. That is why Hanukkah is known as the Festival of Lights, which is celebrated for 8 days and nights. The Jewish Student Union reminds everyone that tonight, we light the candles for night 2 of Hanukkah.
We want to wish our Girl’s JV and Varsity basketball teams good luck tonight. They compete against Osceola High School tonight here at home with JV tipping off at 6:30 and varsity at 8:00.
We also want to wish our Varsity Wrestling team good luck. They are competing in the Fit 2 Win Tournament tonight and tomorrow at Palm Harbor High School.
If you participated in the Fall Break Challenge, bring your ticket voucher to the courtyard during lunch today to get your ice cream!
There is a meeting for all wrestlers today during lunch in the wrestling room with Coach C.
Exemption forms for exams can be picked up by eligible students on Monday and Tuesday at lunchtime in building 8 with Dr. Flocken. Students are eligible to exempt exams ONLY if you've had four or fewer absences in any class. Exemption forms are due back signed by student, parent and teachers of classes you wish to exempt by Wednesday to Dr. Flocken at lunchtime in Building 8.
Don’t forget Saturday school is tomorrow from 9-11. If you need any help in Math, English, Science, Social Studies, and even Art, make sure you show up. The teachers are available to assist you with making up assignments or exam prep.
If any 9th, 10th or 11th graders are interested in playing football, there will be a quick meeting next Wednesday during lunch in room 6-8. If you have any questions, see Coach Disney in the gym.
STEM and aviation/aerospace club members, as well as anyone interested, are invited to attend a presentation by a spaceport and airport engineer next Wednesday after school from 2:00 -3:00 and beyond. Seats are limited to an additional 15 students outside of STEM courses. All interested will need to sign up with Dr. Deeley by Monday afternoon. The engineering company is bringing items for all who attend so an accurate count of attendees is needed ahead of time.
That is all for your morning announcements. Have a fluent Friday Falcons.
