Congratulations to our November Students of the Month: Eduardo Hernandez Sedrick Jemison Jay Scruggs Jordyn Slaughter

The FHS Concert Choir and Women’s Choir will be presenting a holiday concert on Friday, December 12 at 6 pm at Foley First Presbyterian Church. Admission is free of charge.

The Baldwin County Community Alliance is sponsoring an underage drinking and prescription drug use prevention campaign, and they need your help. Submit your creative idea for a commercial encouraging middle and high school students not to drink alcoholic beverages or misuse prescription drugs. Focus should be on the dangers and negative effects when youth have easy access to and availability of alcohol and prescription drugs. (Cont.)

If your idea wins, they will produce the commercial and you can be in it! The overall winner will be selected out of the winning entries from the schools and his/her commercial will be produced and air on FOX10TV and WFNA. See Mrs. Beverly, School Social Worker, in the front office for entry forms. The contest ends December 12th.

Prom Committee members will meet Tuesday after school in Mrs. Champion’s room.

JOOI Club will meet after school on Monday in room 507 for all current and interested members.

Attention FBLA students your group picture will be on December 11 before school in the library. Please dress professional for the photo. Also you will have your Christmas dinner that day after school. Please go by Mrs. Porter’s room 307 to sign up for an item to bring.

Attention all seniors, especially those graduating in a few weeks. If you would like to purchase your prom tickets early and at their lowest rate, please see Mrs. Champion in room 406 this week.

Juniors and seniors, if you are interested in the First Science Academy at the South Baldwin Center for Technology, please see your counselor by Friday. Courses are available 2 nd term during the morning sessions and the afternoon session. You should have at least a 2.09 GPA and really want to pursue this program as a career as it will follow the Alabama Fire Science curriculum which is rigorous, yet very rewarding.

A 24-hour course in first aid is required prior to the course beginning in January. The 24-hour course will be taught after school and possibly on the weekend to get the required curriculum covered. If you are interested in applying to this program, please see your counselor today — January will be too late.

Handprints will be scheduled in May and are completed in the order purchased. Grab your friends and see Ms. Andersen in Room 402 TODAY! Cost is only $5!
