Would you like to help out our community & donate blood? Did you know that 25% of all donated blood in the U.S. is used by cancer patients. Blood transfusions increase the number of healthy red blood cells in the body, which helps prevent complications of these diseases and improve quality of life. Our school is having a blood drive on Thursday, September 26th. To donate blood, you must be 16 yrs old or older. Students can stop by Mrs. Nix’s classroom (Room 3105) to get more information & to register. Students must pre-register to donate. Faculty can come during their planning periods to donate.

Did you know Hispanic Heritage Month starts on Sunday? National Hispanic Heritage Month takes place in the United States every year from September 15 to October 15 and celebrates the cultures, histories, and contributions of U.S. citizens whose ancestors came from Spain, Mexico, Central and South America, and parts of the Caribbean. Here at West Monroe High School, we have over 100 students who are from Honduras, Guatemala, Mexico, El Salvador, Columbia, Venezuela, and Nicaragua. This month, in celebration of Hispanic Heritage Month, let’s learn more about our classmates who are from these countries.

If you auditioned for the Homecoming Assembly, the committee has made its final decisions and the list is posted on both Band and in the Google Classroom. They apologize for taking so long and thank you for understanding. They also thank everyone who auditioned for being brave enough to share their talents. If your name is not on the list, it doesn’t mean you are less talented than someone else. The committee felt these numbers fit best for this show, and your strong auditions contributed to how long it has taken to post.

The posted show list is tentative. Just because a number appears on there right now does not mean it has to stay. The list, songs, and performers are subject to change at the discretion of the committee, so make sure to always put forth your best attitude, work ethic, effort, and most of all to have fun! We are thrilled with this year’s show, and we can’t wait to work with all of our performers. Also, singers’ tracks will be coming soon as Mr. Oden, Mr. Taylor, and Ms. Salter work on them, but if you would like information about where potential cuts in the song will be so that you can be practicing, stop by Mr. Taylor’s room 4105. Please check the band or Google Classroom outside of school as NO CELLPHONES are allowed at school.
