The Michigan Interscholastic Press Association is hosting a summer camp in journalism studies at Michigan State University from Sunday, Jul. 21 until Thursday, Jul. 25. Whether you’re a writer, photographer, designer, yearbook editor or news anchor — or if you’re just starting to explore journalism — MIPA will help you meet your goals and prepare for whatever challenges lie ahead. Start planning now to join students from all over the state! Please email Ms. Pankop at [email protected] or pop down to K6 for more details.

The yearbook is a book worth waiting for, but it’s not worth waiting for it to sell out! Run down to K3 with $70 cash or check before it’s too late! Or order online at www.yearbookordercenter.com with order number 12613. There are only 150 left, and the Signing Party is only a week away, so hurry and get yours!

The library will be closed due to AP testing. Books can be returned to the window outside of Ms. Lewis’s office. Students needing Chromebook help may use the hallway entrance into Ms. Lewis’s office during 1st, 3rd or 5th period.

All loaner Chromebooks must be returned to Ms. Lewis before the end of the school year. There will be a $305 fee for any that are not returned. 

The Sword and Board club will meet Thursday from 2:30 to 3:30 p.m. in room C16. All tabletop gamers and games are invited to join. We are specifically looking to build groups for Magic the Gathering and Pokemon TCG matches. If you play either of these games, please consider stopping by!

Want to contribute to Grad Bash but don’t know how? Go to Noodles and Company on W. Main St. tonight from 4:00 to 8:00 p.m. Do your part, eat some food!
