Valley Southwoods Daily Announcements
March 11, 2010 Black Day

Buenos Dias! Today during World Language Week we will focus on Spanish. Win a prize by writing your answer to today's trivia question on one of the answer slips and depositing it in the box in the Media Center:

Today's question is: Who was the "Man of La Mancha"?

PARKING AT VALLEY NEXT YEAR
There is NO PARKING for sophomores at Valley High School. Information regarding parking on side streets and/or the shuttle to and from Valley and Southwoods will be available at sophomore registration in August. Please inform your parents of this so we can limit the number of calls being made to Valley regarding this matter.

Spring Break School
A reminder that all late assignments need to be turned in before you leave for break. Avoid Spring Break School; turn in your assignments!

Community Service
Community Education will be hosting LEARNapalooza at Valley Southwoods. Volunteers are needed to help set up (Friday, April 9th from 3:30 to 5:00 p.m.) and/or work during the event (Saturday, April 10th from 8:45 a.m. to 12:30 p.m.). There is a sign up sheet on the Southwoods Serves Bulletin Board. Sign up dead-line is March 26th.

Girls' tennis players please remind your parents of the meeting on Tuesday evening March 23rd at 6:00 in the Valley North Gym. All girls' tennis parents are encouraged to attend.

The girls' tennis ladder is posted on the Athletic Board in the main hall.
