The 8th grade is traveling to see *I Never Saw Another Butterfly* in Green
Bay on May 3rd. The play details the real-life incident of the children in
the Terezin Ghetto during World War II. It supports the Integrated class’
look at the war experience and its theme that war touches all people, not
just those in the military.

We will be leaving at the end of 1st hour on that day and returning by the
end of 7th hour. Students will head to their lockers after 1st period ends,
put their stuff away, and head to the gym lobby to board the buses.

Attention Students and Staff,

We need your help to keep our school environment clean and safe. Please
remember that food should be consumed in the cafeteria, not on the
playground or in the halls.

Thank you,

Ms. Markofski

*Health Tip*

Did you know that April 30th is Noise Awareness Day? Hearing loss doesn’t
just occur in old age! Here are 3 tips to protect your hearing:

1. Avoid or limit exposure to loud sounds

2. Use hearing protection when it is not possible to avoid loud noises.

3. Turn down the music volume! If you are wearing ear buds and someone
can hear your music from 3 feet away, it is too loud!
