MAD WEEK SURPASSES 100 GRAND! Though money is still coming in, our total raised for MAD Week 2011 is $15,225! This surpasses our goal and brings our total raised over the past six years to over $100,000! Along with the textbooks, plumbing, internet, tools, paint, and teacher support, we will send over 100 MAD t-shirts to our fellow classmates. A special thank you goes to DECA and Mr. Eagle, the Theater Company and One Acts, the Boys Tennis Boosters for their large donation, The Shack, Jimmy Johns, Baskin Robbins, and Alpine Club. Students, families, staff and community members, your generosity is unmatched! Together we continue to MAKE A DIFFERENCE!

ALPINE CLUB: Congratulations to all 2010 – 2011 Alpine Club participants on a job well done this year. We hiked a total of 31,000 vertical feet!! We also raised over $500 for MAD WEEK with our sponsored hike on Quandary Peak. If you have any photos you would like added to the Alpine Club web site, please stop by before the end of the year. Many thanks.

FINES: Please check Infinite Campus to see what fees and/or fines you may have due. You must be paid up to receive your yearbook. In addition, if you are a graduating senior, you must be paid up by next Thursday, May 12, to receive your cap and gown. To prevent unnecessary delays, please check Infinite Campus and take care of your fees with the Bookkeeper immediately.

P.E. LOCKS: All students are reminded to turn in their physical education lock on Monday, May 9th or Tuesday May 10th. Locks must be turned in or a $10.00 fine will be assessed. Students with unpaid lock fines will NOT be able to purchase parking permits in the fall and Seniors will not be able to pick up their cap and gown for graduation.

ALL STUDENTS: The yearbook distribution party is TODAY! The party will start for seniors who have 7th hour off and for all other classes after school. The party will be held in the student center until 3:30. Students must have ALL fines paid and must have current student ID in order to pick up their book- NO EXCEPTIONS! If you can't make the party, you can pick up your book before or after school tomorrow or Wednesday in room 113 or during 4, 5, or 6th hour outside of the student center. Still haven't bought a book? They will be for sale through the bookkeeper's office, starting after school on May 9th. There is a limited number, and when they are gone, they are gone. They will be $75. For all questions, please see Mrs. De Vries.

COLLEGE APPLICATION BOOT CAMP: Class of 2012 - This summer, the Counseling Department/Post Grad Center will be offering an opportunity, for Seniors only, to get a jump start on the college application process, writing college essays, researching programs/majors and scholarship and financial aid process. This free 3 day workshop will be offered on August 2, 3, 4 from 9:00 a.m. - 1:00.p.m. Space is limited so stop by and register with Nancy Ollada, Counseling Secretary, or call (303)347-7610 by May 20!

AUTOMOTIVE INDUSTRY: Are you interested in the automotive industry? Or maybe you just want to learn a thing or two about cars. Talk to your counselor about Auto Class through Sheridan High School at ACC. It’s a good opportunity to get college credit while still in high school and have fun!

INCOMING A.P. EURO STUDENTS: If you are not presently enrolled in A.P. U.S. History, please stop by to see Father Justin or Mr. Collins to get a copy of the A.P. Euro Letter you will need before June. Don’t end the school year without it!

CROSS COUNTRY MEETING: There will be an important Cross Country Meeting after school at 2:30 on Monday, May 16th in Room 336. All athletes that are interested in being a part of the team in the fall of 2011 should plan to attend.

POST GRAD:

Seniors: Remember to come to the Post Grad Center to complete your 5 minute exit interview. NO CAP AND GOWN WILL BE RELEASED TO YOU WITHOUT THIS FINAL STEP.

Sophomores: If you have not been called into the Post Grad Center this year, you have not been forgotten. We have just run out of time. Instead, you will receive a note through your Advisory explaining the interest inventory which your classmates took in Post Grad and how you may access the same website they used and complete this fun step yourself over the summer.
