Hey Junior Class! Guess what? You won the class cup carnival! You will get to participate in an afternoon of fun activities and food starting at 12:30pm on Thursday, May 15th. You will report the outside of the Fitzkee Center to check in and then join the fun!

Keystone Exams start Monday. If you are required to take the English Literature Exam please report to your assigned testing room by 7:38. If you have questions about your assigned room, please email Ms. Axe or ask any teacher for assistance.

If you are NOT required to take the English Literature Exam, you may report to school on a 3hr delay IF you have transportation. At 10:30 AM, non-testing students with transportation may enter only through the Student Commons, where they will remain until 10:42 AM. Attendance will then be taken at 10:46 AM. Please note that non-testing students will NOT be allowed to enter the school building between 7:45 AM and 10:30 AM while testing is in progress.

If your child is not testing on one or more of the testing days and does not have personal transportation to allow them to arrive at 10:46 AM, then they should ride their normally assigned bus and report to the Student Commons at 7:38 AM. They will be assigned to a quiet study hall while testing is in progress.

It is important that students who ride a district bus enter the building immediately upon arrival. Please note that if upon arrival at school, a student exits their bus and leaves school property (and does not enter the building), this is considered the same as Leaving School without Permission and will result in an in-school suspension. Students who enter the building and then leave rather than going to study hall will also earn an in-school suspension. Additionally, any students who leave without permission will not be permitted to re-enter the building without consenting to a search in accordance with our student handbook and school board policy. This policy is in place to ensure the safety of all of our students.

Students in Exploring Construction Safety and Operations Class recently completed their 30 Hour OSHA Training for the Construction Industry.

The OSHA 30-hour Construction course equips individuals with advanced safety knowledge and skills, enhancing their ability to manage risks, ensure compliance, and foster a safer work environment in the construction industry. Well done Construction Safety Students for getting a jump start in Career and Workforce Development!

This week’s Pawsitive Pal is Ms. Keely Bluett. She's the kind of person who doesn't just teach art; she ignites a passion for it in each and every one of us. Her classroom is more than just a space filled with supplies; it's a place where creativity flourishes, and where we feel genuinely encouraged to explore our own unique artistic voices.

What truly sets her apart is her unwavering belief in her students. She has a remarkable way of making everyone feel like an artist, no matter their skill level. She's incredibly accommodating, always finding ways to support our individual needs and artistic visions. If you were able to visit the art show this past weekend, you can see how Ms. Bluett and the other art teachers push our students to create incredible work! Additionally, Ms. Bluett promotes Red Lion artists by leading a group of students to paint windows in downtown Red Lion. She also co-leads the National Art Honor Society with Mr. Eck.

Thank you for going above and beyond, for your endless encouragement, and for making us all believe in our creative potential. Red Lion is so lucky to have you!

The Lion Locker is open Semester 2 during periods 4, 5, 6, and 7. If you need the Lion Locker outside those periods, see the Main Office or Counseling Department.
