We will look at permits and numbers again towards the end of June and the beginning of the school year.

Golden Bruin Award – Thursday, February 11th was our 6th Golden Bruin Award day. This year our Golden Bruin award will be used to celebrate classes with the most work completed by the whole class. For this month we are celebrating National Peppermint Patty Day with the 2nd period B day classes who have the fewest missing assignments. Our winner for 6th grade is Mrs. Sollis, 7th grade is Mr. Oliphant, 8th grade is Mrs. Stanton, and our elective is Coach Griffith’s 2B class. Golden Bruin’s from these four classes received a Peppermint Patty and 10 Bruin Bucks. Congratulations to all of these GREAT Golden Bruins! Our next Golden Bruin day will be March 9th – National Waffle Day. We will pick a different class period next time, so get your missing assignments in and your class may be the next winner.
