PTA Dinner for Parent Teacher Conference February 13th:
We will be ordering the same thing we did last year- Hoagie Sandwiches. But the funny part is that (Well, besides the meeting being the day before Monthly Munchies which also needs volunteers.) Is that LAST YEAR when we served Hoagies we had leftovers... just like we do every year, and well, normally we put the leftovers in the fridge and leave a friendly note to teachers that they can have the leftovers. (We leave leftovers during Teacher Appreciation Week too, speaking of which, I need volunteers for Teacher Appreciation Week which isn't until May 5-9, but starting early is always a wonderful thing.)
But the funny part was that last year, the leftovers were in the fridge and there were A LOT of leftovers, like almost enough to serve the entire school. (Oh yeah, Fundraiser Week for the entire school is coming up March 17-21, just get ready for that.) Anyway, the principal announced "Hey Teachers, leftovers are in the fridge come- get them." But 10 minutes later when a teacher arrived... the entire stash of sandwiches was gone! So, he checked the cameras!

Attendance Office Announcement
Just a few attendance reminders:
If you’re leaving school, your parent or guardian will need to check you out at the front office. Remember if you leave campus WITHOUT properly checking out you will be marked as a sluff.
If your smiling face never makes it school, please remember to have a parent or guardian call and excuse your absence within two days.
Missing or being tardy to class can prevent you from participating in school activities like school dances, end of term rewards, and Lagoon at the end of the school year.
One Tardy = 15 Minutes of Detention
One Sluff (skipping class) = 45 Minutes of Detention
3 Hours of Detention = No School Activities
Christmas Deal- IF you find the Elf, take a selfie with her and send it into SFJHS instagram, you will earn double detention points!!

Just come to the kitchen door in the cafeteria at the start of your lunch and we'll happily put you to work. We have plenty of help for first lunch, but could really use more help for second lunch.
