Senior dues and hoodie template signing

Seniors who have paid their dues are welcome to come to Mrs. Banas' room (201) during homeroom, second period, fifth period, eighth period, or right afterschool to sign the senior hoodie "07" template.

If you have not paid your dues due to financial hardship, you need to come and talk to me or Dr. Kresse. We can't help you if we don't know there's a problem. Right now, the assumption is 10-12 seniors have just chosen not to pay.

Senior Trip Success!!!




Thanks to all of the seniors who went on the senior trip for their exemplary behavior while on the trip. You guys were a joy to chaperone. Thank you to Mr. Peter Klein (Eric's dad), Mr. John McTigue, and my husband, Mr. Bill Banas.

Here are some pictures from the trip. Including two in front of Cinderella's Castle and two in front of EPCOT's World Showcase: Japan. Now I can say I took you guys to Japan (ha, ha: see banasblog.blogspot.com if you don't get it)!
