Relay for Life

Rincon Vista has started a team for Relay for Life and I am on it!

Relay for Life is a 12 hour relay race (around the track at Empire). The goal is to raise awareness about cancer and raise funds to aid the fight against cancer.

If you are interested, there are a couple ways to help raise the funds.

1) For the next 2 weeks we are selling t-shirts (pictured below) for $10 each. The entire $10 will go to the American Cancer Society. Students and staff will be encouraged to wear their Ninja shirts on specified days.

2) Visit the website HERE and donate a luminaria "In Honor Of" or "In Memory Of" a cancer survivor/victim.

Chick-Fil-A Night!

The Washington DC Club is hosting a fundraising night at Chick-Fil-A at El Con Mall this Thursday from 4-9pm. Students were given a flyer today. I plan on being there with my family at about 5:00 and would love to see a lot of students there. If you go, bring me your receipt on Friday for some Q4 tickets!

Citizenship Grades

All citizenship grades have been returned to M for meets for quarter 4. This is a clean-slate for everyone. Show me that you deserve that E (exceeds) and be sure to stay away from an A (approaches) or F (falls below)!

Today in math we took a review quiz that had ten questions to help prepare us for the AIMS testing in April.
