Health Concern It seems that some students are rubbing their skin with erasers so hard that they are giving themselves significant burn marks. Students, please do no participate in this activity. It is not healthy for anyone to be doing things that damage any part of your body. Teachers, please watch for any students that might be involved in this kind of behavior and report them to the health office.
Fighting Saints Jersey Design Contest The Dubuque Fighting Saints are having a contest to design a warm up Jersey for their hockey team. If you would like to create a design for this contest please stop in the office and pick up the information and guidelines for the design. The winner will receive their own Jersey. The warm up jerseys will be auctioned off to the public after the January 11th game. Proceeds from the event will go to benefit the University of Iowa Children's Hospital.
