Today, we celebrate Environmental Awareness Day at Decatur. As you go through your day today, have a conversation with a friend, teacher, teammate, or family member about some easy ways that you can make a positive impact on our local environment. One positive impact our Surfrider Club has had this year was meeting with House and Senate representatives to help introduce the Plastic Pellet Free Waters Act. Tomorrow is the Decatur Cleanup Day. Ask your teachers to sign up for 1st or 2nd period cleanup times!

Attention members of Educators Rising: This is just a reminder that our trip to Buckingham will take place TOMORROW, April 26th. Please meet in Mrs. Stevenson’s classroom at the bell on Friday, and we will leave when the bus arrives. Any questions, please see Mrs. Stevenson or Mrs. Cosgrove TODAY.

Juniors and Seniors! Prom tickets will go on sale Tuesday next week. Prices and information will be released tomorrow. Stay tuned!

All Stephen Decatur students that are attending prom, regardless pf grade, must complete an “I’m Debtless” form. These forms must be signed off by the media center and the main office. Forms will be available later today in the main office and media center. This form MUST be completed before prom tickets can be sold. See Mr. Greenwood with questions.

Attention Juniors and Seniors, if you are bringing a non-Stephen Decatur High School student to Prom you MUST complete an Out of School Guest Form, submit it, and receive approval from administration. This process takes 2 days. Before you can purchase a ticket for your outside guest, your form must be approved, so please plan accordingly.
