• Are you looking for a quiet place to study and get work done? Maybe a tutor to help you with some troublesome problems? A snack to help you concentrate? Come visit Scorpion Success TODAY in room 808 and 704 for math help from 2:20-4:00. Drop ins are always welcomed.

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.

SCHOOL SUPPORT

• Knowing Your Rights as an Immigrant: Regardless of your status as an immigrant, you have guaranteed rights under the constitution. For example If an immigration agent asks if they can search you, you have the right to say no. Agents do not have the right to search you or your belongings without your consent or probable cause. To find out more, on Thursday March 5th, Speakers From CASA de Maryland & FIRN will discuss the immigrant rights we should all know. Come to Ms. Shiah’s Room # 200 at 2:15. All are welcome!  Sponsored by Escorpiones Latinos.
• Conozca sus derechos como inmigrante: No importa su estatus como inmigrante, tienes derechos garantizados bajo la constitución.

Los agentes no tienen derecho a registrarlo a usted ni a sus pertenencias sin su consentimiento o causa probable. 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.
