Weekly Update!

To misquote Seth: "[First] week of the [new] quarter! Huzzah!"

Correction: To IB Seniors - IB Science Labs (Bio and Chem, IA and regular) are due WEDNESDAY, MARCH 18, not Monday. That was a mistake on my part. Be sure to have them Wednesday, though!

NHS Members: The Spring Induction Ceremony is at 6 pm on Thursday, March 19. If you are a current member, attendance is mandatory (except in extreme cases) and you receive one service hour for it. If you're one of our 50-odd spring inductees: great job, and see you Thursday in the auditorium for ceremony and cake! (Set up is at 5pm if you want to help)
