Seniors – Caddo Parish Schools would like to honor Caddo students who are planning to enter teacher certification programs as they enter college with a special signing day, and offer a salary incentive for completing the certification and returning to teach in Caddo. If you plan to attend college with the goal of becoming a certified teacher, please let Mrs. Byrd in the counseling office know by TOMORROW so your name can be submitted.
Girl Up – We need all members of Girl Up to bring a donation of one package of diapers or one package of feminine products to the girls locker room. We will be conducting a drive for the local Women’s organization Bare Necessities. Each Box or package will count 1 service hour. You need to turn in donations to Mrs Levermann in the girls’ locker room or if you turn into the 3rd floor science building area you must notify Gracie or Diamond on the Girl up remind so we can keep up with service hours. You can pick up your service hour sheets in the girls’ locker room.
Students – Student Council Week will be April 4 through 8 so we will be having dress-up days. Teachers, please join in, too! Monday – Groutfit Day (Wear an all gray outfit – apparently it’s a TikTok trend?!?) • Tuesday – USA Day (Wear your best Red, White, and Blue) • Wednesday – Wacky Wednesday • Thursday – Seniors are senior citizens, underclassmen are children/babies (Faculty – Feel free to choose either if you want to dress up!) • Friday – Future Friday (Students are supposed to dress for the career they want) (Teachers – maybe what you wanted to be as a child?!)
