Today Celebrates: National Pizza Day and Toothache Day!

Lunch for today includes: Mozzarella Sticks with Marinara Sauce, Fish Nuggets, Roll, Steamed Kale, Vegetarian Baked Beans, Diced Peaches, Fresh Fruit, and Milk.

The LGBTQ Fact of the Week is: Decatur has an active GSA group that meets during After School Academy on Wednesday afternoons. What is GSA, you ask? GSA is a next-generation LGBTQ+ racial and gender justice club that creates space for support, organizing, and community building so that trans and queer youth have what they need to stay in school, become leaders who can advocate for themselves and their needs, and collaborate with other youth and community groups to fight for racial and gender justice. The SDHS GSA wishes you a successful second semester of the ’22-’23 school year!

Teachers and students don’t forget to sign up for the Black History Month event this Friday and next Wednesday. The list of speakers is available in your email and the Media Center. Support our community members as they speak and read poetry, share philosophical ideas, build connections through history, and more!

Interested in the medical field? Want to learn more about the different careers in medicine and how to get there? Then consider attending Math Club’s Medical Field speaking event on Thursday, February 9th!

Guests include Dr. Gerard Gioia, who is the Division Chief of Neuropsychology at Children’s National Hospital and the Principal Investigator of many CDC-funded research studies on pediatric concussions. More information and a link to sign up can be found on Schoology. After-school transportation will be provided.
