Yearbook Club will NOT meet on Monday.

JHS Robotics Club is starting next week. We use E-V-3 robot sets for building and a Scratch-based application for programming our machines. So, if you are into designing, programming, or engineering, I hope you'll participate. Robotics is open to all grade levels. We will meet Tuesdays after school in Mr. McNamara's room. Please see Mr. McNamara for a sign-up form if you are interested.
