Announcements for 10-17-08
Food Drive Classroom Competition:
As part of the Food Drive, we collect food from the classes here at Central High School. The competition is between the third block classes. We are asking kids to bring in non-perishable food items to their classrooms. This will begin today October 16th and end Friday October 24th. The class with the most pounds of food will win a prize. This is a great help in the fight for hunger in our community and put pounds towards Central’s overall tally. Thank you for your previous participation in this event! 10-17

Attention ALL students…ALL students, each and everyone of you! Do you have a cell phone? Is it a razor a touch screen? Is it one that you can text message on? Do you have a plan through Sprint? ATT? Why are we asking? Well…we are seeing a lot of cell phones in the hallways lately and thought it would get your attention. This is a reminder that if any staff member sees your cell phone out from the time you walk into the building to the time you leave, it will be taken and you will not get it back until the end of the day from your dean. NO CELL PHONES ARE ALLOWED IN THE BUILDING BEFORE, DURING, OR AFTER SCHOOL. While we are on the subject of rules, students, backpacks are not allowed in school that are not string or mesh. Ladies that carry big purses, you will not be allowed to bring large handbags to school either. 10-17
