Week of October 15

Good evening staff!

I hope you and your family and friends are safe from this past week's storms. SWHS finally had power restored as of late today. With the cancelled days that have occurred come a lot of changes in activities as well as a lot of new dates and times for various events still to occur. Thank you for understanding. 

Since we lost out of the students' most anticipated theme day of "Growing up" this past Thursday, it has been rescheduled to tomorrow.

GROWING UP

Freshman-                   Babies & Toddlers
Sophomores-               College year  FraterniT’s, SororiT’s, CollegeT’s
Juniors-                        Moms & Dads…be the best soccer mom or coach dad
Seniors-                       Senior Citizens

This past Friday's original plan of cowboy/cowgirl theme will be rescheduled to the Friday  game vs Smith High School on November 9th.

Picture make up day will be rescheduled as soon as we can get a date set by Lifetouch pictures.

Interim's were set to be distributed this past Thursday. We will now distribute the 2nd set of interims for the first quarter Tuesday. 

October is NC Countdown to College Month!

We are encouraging seniors to wear college t-shirts next week in support of College Application Week!  

Ask a Senior:  Next week, when you see your peers out and about, ASK them if them 3 questions:

Have you applied to college, have you completed your FAFSA, have you completed RDS!  If they say no, point them in the direction of the nearest counselor :)  

*Remember, Friends support Friends! 

NEED HELP?  Counselors will be have Lab 2 open for assistance on Wednesday and Thursday, during 3rd block!  Signup here:  https://forms.office.com/Pages/ResponsePage.aspx?id=H_vimqLeQ0yBlHYk_LuzDLUjrBYbG59LjD4oYN0YjYxUNzA0S0IwRzRLSksxOVNRSFlJTjRVSVoyRy4u
