Ms. Hightower and I had previously told you that induction would tentatively be on 4/11 but that it would depend on my soccer schedule. Of course, I do have a soccer game that night, so induction will now be on 4/22/24 at 7pm. Please mark your calendars and tell your parents!
To be inducted members: you are required to be at this event. If you cannot attend, please email both Ms. Hightower and I as soon as possible. Here are our emails: [email protected] and [email protected].
If you are an already inducted member, it is the expectation that you attend. While this is not mandatory, it is not only a kind action to be there to support our new members, it is also one of the few events we ask you to be at. Please do everything you can to be there.
IMPORTANT ANNOUNCEMENTS ABOUT MANDATORY EVENTS:
There will be a pre-induction meeting for all members who are not yet inducted on April 15th either during advisory or after school (from 3:05 to 3:35pm) in the Falcon's Nest.
All information about what to expect at induction will be provided at this time

Pay your dues by 9/28.
Final Service Hours are due April 8th, 2024 by midnight!
Reminders: What types of hours count as service hours?
If you are paid, it is not considered an act of service.
Doing something kind for a neighbor or classmate does not count towards your twenty hours, although a wonderful task to do, because we view community service as doing for a group, larger entity, community, or organization, etc.
We are extending grace and allowing hours to still count if recorded more than a month afterwards. This deadline is mentioned to discourage procrastination, but hours completed will always be accepted and not neglected due to a delayed submission.
In addition to looking at the "Volunteer Opportunities" tab for service options, you could always contact a church or organization and ask if they have any events they need help with.
