Memorial Day! May 27! This specific day will honor all of those who have fallen. In order to protect this wonderful nation from outsiders. Also this day is where every single student doesn’t have to come to school. So get up and celebrate the heroes of this country!

On May 3, this Friday will be a 12 pm (noon) dismissal. Friday will be an early dismissal because Open House is happening the day before, so enjoy the early weekend. The year is almost over but don’t slack off just yet, work your hardest till the very end!

​Open House is here this year! It’s on the May 2! This event will allow your parents to see your projects that you had done over the year. Also this can show your progress as a student, so you could improve next year. So get up! What are you waiting for, show your parents on what you had done and be proud while doing it!

This year's theme: "Superheroes".

Spring Break will be starting on April 1st, 2019 all the way to April 5th, 2019. Students will not attend school during the week. They will go back to school and attend their classes on April 8th, 2019. Students should be prepared and ready to go back to school. Lateness will not be tolerated. Please go to bed early on Sunday therefore you won’t wake up late and rushing to school. Rushing anything is never a good idea. You could forget things such as your homework and other things you will need for the school day. Remember, Spring Break will start on April 1st and go all the way till April 5th, 2019. If you come to school, no one will be there. Don't forget to go to bed early so you will get to school on time. Being late will not be tolerated. Once again, it starts on April 1st, 2019 and end on April 5th, 2019.

Career Day is on March 29, 2019. It is a minimum day meaning students are dismissed at 12:00. Students are to dress professionally as they will be seeing professionals. Students will be able to choose four different jobs that they will be going to throughout the day. Your regular schedule will not apply for the day. You will be given your own schedule with your four different jobs. Be aware that the jobs you choose might not be the ones you get for Career Day. You will not need any things like your backpack. You should bring a pencil or pen and maybe a bag or small backpack. You can leave all your school items at home since you will not be needing them. Basically you only need a pencil or pen, a small bag and dress professionally and be prepared to learn. 

​Good luck to the people in Advanced Orchestra, who will be performing for the presenters!   - the editor
Also, some more useful information:

It's the tour we've all been waiting for: the tour of Gab! All 8th graders that have sufficient grades and have signed their permission slips will go on March 26, to get to know the school and how it's like in advance. Don't get us embarrassed, eighth graders! A lot of people will be watching you. Especially Mr. Whiteley's former students. ;D

March 26th is the 6th grade field trip! Sixth graders will be going to Long Beach for beach cleanup. We’ll be able to help the environment and enjoy the summer breeze at the same time! Bring something to sit on or even some tools to help you with your cleaning, as well as a writing utensil and something to write on. Bringing a shovel or a shifter is optional.  Don’t forget to bring lunch!

​

They'll be mailed out on March 22. Soon before, grades for the third quarter closes. Please note that if you are eighth grader, these grades will decide whether you go to the Gabrielino High School tour or not. So, make sure you keep your grades up! We're almost at the end! Only one more quarter to go!
