Today Celebrates: Candlelight Night and National Chocolate Mint Day!
Lunch for today includes: Cheeseburger, Breaded Mozzarella Sticks with Marinara, Steamed California Vegetable Blend, Vegetarian Baked Beans, Diced Pears, Fresh Fruit, and Milk.
Attention Seniors: Please make sure you are logging into Schoolinks to see all local scholarships. Scholarships are opened once the organizations call us and say that they are ready. So make sure you are checking often. Do as many as you can do! Money is out there!
Attention students: Scheduling for the next school year will start on Monday with a homeroom first thing. Underclassmen will watch a video that will assist in picking courses. Decatur and Worcester Tech counselors will be down by the cafeteria during all lunches next week to answer any questions you may have. Seniors will have their first opportunity to complete the Mandatory senior survey during homeroom. Please use this time to complete this survey. The more that complete it now, the less time during graduation practice we will have to devote to this task.
Attention students. Have you ever wondered what it would be like to be a teacher? There will be a brief interest meeting TOMORROW for the Education Dual Enrollment class in the media center. This class earns you college credit and includes an internship experience at one of the local elementary or intermediate schools in Worcester County. Choose from one of the two time slots to attend: tomorrow in the media center at 9:00 am or 2:00 pm. Or reach out to Mrs. Cosgrove if you would like more information.

Congratulations to our indoor track athletes who competed at the 3A Maryland State Championship meet yesterday.

For the boys, the 4×800 team of Xander Wakefield, Ethan Rhode, Carter Steffy, and Collin Pennington came in 11th with a time of 8:30, fast enough to smash a 21 year Stephen Decatur school record by over 5 seconds.
