Today is a “B” Day!
TODAY'S MEETINGS/EVENTS/DEADLINES
MARCH IS YOUTH ART MONTH – did you know that teaching students to be creative is a deliberate process, much
like teaching reading or math?
April is Prevention of Cruelty to Animals Month, and in an effort to help out our local animals, Volunteer Fauquier is
sponsoring a pet drive beginning the last weeks of March and running through the whole month of April. Please bring pet
food, pet treats, pet toys, litter, paper towels and other cleaning supplies to our donation drop-off location in the main
lobby. All donations will benefit our local no-kill shelter, Middleburg Humane Foundation. Your donations can help save
animal lives!
Attention Students: There are now less than 300 yearbooks left to be sold. We are on pace to sell out even earlier than we
did last year, so get yours soon.
Seniors: Please be sure to check out the many scholarships available to you in guidance. Be sure to keep an eye on
the date scholarships are due. A few deadlines are approaching. Any scholarships due to guidance must be in by 7:30 the
morning of the due date.
Any Student interested in knowing about the Naval Academy see Mr. Hackney immediately.
