Congratulations to the Rotary Seniors of the Month of December- Mae Gentry and Lizzie Budd!

Mrs. Hull retires after 10 years as the High School Family and Consumer Sciences teacher and FCCLA Advisor. Thank you for everything you have done for our students. We wish you nothing but the best in your retirement.

Seniors: Don't forget you have to have your FAFSA, Alternative Application, or Waiver on file to graduate. If you have any questions, call the Guidance Office. https://www.isac.org/pd/fafsa-mandate.html

Seniors! Lifetouch will be here to take your portraits for the graduating class composite board that hangs in the hallway. Tuesday, 12/15, 10am-noon Remote learners: Email Mrs. Kessler (akessler@arcolaschools.com) to arrange a time 10am-noon to come in. Midterm graduates: This will be the only chance for you to get your portrait taken for the composite board.

Principal Update: As Mrs. Sigrist is getting ready to start her 5th round of chemo, we thought it would be appropriate to give you a quick update. Yes, she is still working. She always looks forward to greeting the students in the mornings. So far, Mrs. Sigrist is handling the chemo pretty well except for some nauseousness. Unfortunately, she did experience a minor setback with her most recent chemo because her platelet count was low. She knew that pushing her appointment back would cause her to feel fatigue, and nauseous during Thanksgiving and that was upsetting. Even then, she continued to show up to work and come in with a positive attitude. She has another pet scan coming up that will show how effective chemo has been so far. We will keep you informed on her progress. Thank you to everyone who continues to pray and show their support. We would like to ask everyone who contributed towards the Sigrist Strong movement to show their support by wearing their shirt/mask this Friday, December 4th. Snap a picture and share it with us on our Facebook page @ Arcola Jr. Sr. High School. You can also use #sigriststrong.
