Attention all sophomores, there is a sophomore commission meeting on Tuesday in Mrs. Williams’ room 221.  See you there!

Hey Barons… How many of you like “C’s”?  Not that many, right?  But what about “B’s?”  Or even “G’s?”  Going to school in a community like ours, it’s very common to develop a disorder called Letter Bias, in which particular letters are held in extremely low regard.

But not for Junior, Eric Nguyen.  Last Friday, he and a group of friends demonstrated their own Letter Bias, when in the afternoon they spent over an hour with the letters C, B, and G… as they were CAUGHT… BEING GOOD!

Juniors Eric Nguyen, Aseel Yerunker, Toan Nguyen, and Sophomore Lindsey Danley gave up over an hour of their Friday afternoon last week as they helped set-up and prepare classrooms in the English Hall for the SAT Exam.  Not only did they cover up posters, and move desks… they worked as a team to ensure a safe and secure testing environment for over 500 college-bound Seniors.

Thanks guys… Your lack of Letter Bias just earned you a 2 credit detention write-off, as you were CBG’d… or CAUGHT… BEING GOOD!

Here are your morning announcements for Friday, November 4th:    

Hey Barons, tonight our football team takes on Edison at OCC!  Good Luck Barons, we want the BELL!!  Beat Edison!
