U.N.I.D.O.S. Club Invites You to Participate in the Día de los Muertos Ofrenda

October 28-November 4

At the Eagle

Día de los Muertos is primarily a Mexican Celebration that focuses on remembering loved ones and friends that have died. Similar celebrations are seen throughout many Latin American countries.

If you would like to remember a loved one, bring in a photo to place on the ofrenda.

Cards will be available to write a message by Ms. Bray’s room.

*Special section dedicated to pets that have passed*

Student Council members collaborated with the new club, Fundraising for Equality, to create this video for your enjoyment. It encourages everyone to wear pink on Wednesday for cancer awareness month and to bring in change/dollars for Minute Madness that same day (Wednesday). We will be making a donation for hurricane relief. Thanks for participating!

*Come to the eagle from 8:15 - 8:35 to have your picture taken and entered in the contest.

*Voting will take place 4th hour.

*Prizes for 1st, 2nd, and 3rd place!

Registration for AP tests is open until November 1. The AP test is optional when taking an AP course. Scores on an AP test can earn college credit or advanced placement, this link lets you see credit policy by college. A few AP classes are also concurrent enrollment with SouthEast, as noted in the registration. The cost is $55 per test and testing will be in May. If you qualify for Education Benefits, that few is waived, please reach out to me and I will assist with registration.
