Student announcements - Feb. 24, 2017

Good morning,

The month of February is designated to acknowledge the achievements made by African American people throughout history.  To honor Black History Month, Each day, we will recognize a historic figure that has helped society for the better. Today’s person of the day is:
  • Althea Gibson was the first African-American women’s tennis player. She was a trailblazer for women’s tennis and eventually went on to become the first black winner of both Wimbledon and the French and US open. She was inducted into the international tennis hall of fame in 1971.

Come out tonight at 7:00 to our very first Mr. Carrboro Pageant. The show will be produced by Student Government and the Brothers Groups and was designed to promote school spirit, showcase student and faculty talent, and celebrate the best moments of Carrboro High School.  There will be special guest performances by Mrs. Uzun, Unnecessary Measures and more. Tickets are $5 in advance $7 at the door and will be sold during both lunches.

It’s Cinderella’s Closet time again!  Cinderella’s Closet provides formal wear for prom to junior and senior girls who could not otherwise afford it.  Please see Ms. Crider for an application.  Deadline is Tuesday March 7th!

What? You don’t have any plans for summer yet? There are FIVE more spots left on this year’s summer service trip to Ecuador. If you’ve been thinking about going, you had better sign up soon as the final deadline is approaching. There will be an informational meeting TODAY at lunch in D214.

Interested in Theatre, Technical Theatre, or Yearbook?  No experience needed to sign up!  Make sure to also check out Film and Theatre Around the World.  Who doesn’t want to watch movies?  If you sign up for the film class, make sure to list another Theatre course as your alternate.  Feel free to contact Ms. Stegall with questions.

Have you seen the flyers on the library windows?  Anyone who has not purchased a yearbook but is in it at least 2 times (at this point) should have a flyer.  Look for your name, take a reminder, and remember to purchase while supplies last. Please email carrborohighyearbook@gmail.com if you believe there is an error.

Have a great day!
