Hello Bulldogs: 

October is now Socktober.  The LITs are collecting new socks to donate to people in need.  Please put the socks in the box in the foyer or bring them to Mrs. Mitchell in room S227.  Thank you in advance for your help.

BullDog City:

Attention all students:  Bulldog City is looking for members!  If you are interested in helping plan out events such as Spirit Weeks, and spreading Bulldog pride in our school and community, then this is the club for you!  Permission slips are available outside Mrs. Grasso's room (W-201) and in the main office.

Environmental Club:

Attention all students:  If you would like to learn more about your surroundings, participate in service projects, increase student awareness of environmental issues in our area and expand our relationship with MATES and Project Terrapin then the Environmental Club is for you!   Permission slips are available outside Mrs. Grasso's room (W-201) and in the main office.

Good Morning Students - Most of you will remember the Veterans who were in the library two weeks ago and gave you an overview of what they did while they were in the military.  Those Veterans live locally and are all doing well, but that is not the case for many other Veterans.  Did you know there are many Veterans right here in Ocean County who are homeless.  

Starting today through November 18th we will be collecting $10 gift cards for any fast food restaurant to give to homeless veterans right here in Ocean County.  The gift cards can be for WaWa, 7-eleven, Burger King, McDonalds, Starbucks,  Wendy's, Quick Check, Dunkin Donuts, or any fast food restaurants.  

If every student gives $1 we will have enough money to buy 50 gift cards.  We'd love to have each homeroom donate at least one.  Make this your active pledge to our veterans. 

Any questions, please see Mrs. Holly in the library or Mrs. Mitchell.

On Friday 10/21, join your teachers and show your support during Breast Cancer Awareness month by wearing pink!
