ACADEMICS

SCHOOL ACTIVITIES

• Studies have shown that attending a music concert and listening to live music yields a much greater enjoyment to the listener. It also has a much greater ability to reduce stress than simply listening to a recording. So take out your ear buds, turn off the rattling stereo in your Honda Civic, and attend the Axes and Ivories Guitar and Piano recitals on March 11th and March 25th at 7:00pm. If you choose to attend, your soul will thank you!!!
• The Class of 2021 cordially invites you to attend Junior/Senior Prom 2020 "A Night To Remember."  Prom will be held at Martin's West on Saturday, May 2 starting at 7:30pm.  Tickets will go on sale beginning Monday, March 9. Tickets are $70 each and can be purchased anytime online or in Room 809 daily after school until 3pm. Please remember - If your family file is not completed, you can not purchase a ticket.
• The Merit cart, containing gift cards, electronics and much more will be open on Monday during all 4 lunch shifts. Your Scorp Merits can be used to purchase any items available on the Merit cart. Please bring your Merits to lunch and remind teachers to give them out for your respectful, responsible and ready behavior.

• Knowing Your Rights as an Immigrant: Regardless of your status as an immigrant, you have guaranteed rights under the constitution.

Para obtener más información, el jueves 5 de marzo, representantes de CASA de Maryland y de FIRN hablarán sobre los derechos de los inmigrantes que todos deberíamos saber.
