DAY IN HISTORY
-1959: A Soviet rocket crashes into the moon's surface, becoming the first man-made object sent from earth to reach the lunar surface. The event gave the Soviets a short-lived advantage in the "space race" and prompted even greater effort by the United States to develop its own space program.

-Reminder from the Attendance Office: Students cannot leave school without checking out in the Attendance office.  If a student feels sick during the day, he/she needs to come to the nurse or attendance office, so we can call the parent to get permission for the student to leave school. If a student leaves school without a pass from the Attendance office, it will be marked as an unexcused absence.

-REMINDER to parents: please do not use the staff parking lot on 14th Street for student pick up or drop off. Vehicles without a parking permit will be ticketed.
