Today, Linganore High School is joining over 6,000 schools across the nation to celebrate MIX IT UP DAY!  Recognizing that most people eat lunch with the same people every day, MIX IT UP DAY encourages students to sit with new people as a way of honoring diversity and making new friends.  When you enter the cafeteria at lunch today, you will get a free lollipop.  You will then sit at a table that corresponds to your lollipop color.  Icebreaker questions are included at each table.  This is Linganore’s second year of participating in this event, which is sponsored by our SGA.

The Blood Drive is tomorrow!  Any student who has a completed blue consent form should drop it by Mr. Brown’s office, C103, as soon as possible. Once your form is turned in, you will be on the schedule for giving. Passes will be distributed on Wednesday morning.  Any questions, please email Mr. Brown.  If you would still like to donate, pick up a consent form in room C103.

Students who are competing in ‘Poetry Out Loud’ but are NOT currently enrolled in an English class, please perform your poem to Ms. Scuffins by Friday, November 6^th.  You may visit Ms. Scuffins before or after school in room C207.  Please bring a copy of your poem for the judging process.  Good luck!

A reminder to members of National English Honor Society (both current members and inductees) that there is an after school meeting in the auditorium from 2:30-3:00 pm on Wednesday, October 28th.  The induction is Thursday at 7:00 pm in the auditorium.
