Arthur Lovington Atwood Hammond High School

On this Day: in 2001, 19 militants associated with the extremist group al Qaeda hijacked four airplanes and carried out attacks against targets in the United States. Two of the planes were flown into the twin towers of the World Trade Center in New York City, a third plane hit the Pentagon just outside Washington, D.C., and the fourth plane crashed in a field in Shanksville, Pennsylvania. Almost 3,000 people were killed during the 9/11 terrorist attacks, which triggered major U.S. initiatives to combat terrorism and defined the presidency of George W. Bush.  I encourage you today to ask a family member, a teacher, or a friend about 9/11 and what they remember from that day and how this event changed America.  

Students please check your email every day! Your teachers are sending out important information to you. 

School pictures: We will be doing school pictures on Tuesday, September 22nd. After school that day we will be doing senior banner pictures. If you are in a sport, marching band or cheer plan to have your picture taken in uniform. If you are in multiple sports you will choose one to have your banner picture taken in.

Happy Birthday to Thomas Conour and Kaylin Hutchinson

Free Lunch - The  U.S. Department of Agriculture extended the Summer Food Service Program waiver from September 1 to December 31. This means all students can get breakfast and lunch FREE from every school day until the end of first semester! Please note that a la carte items like chips and bottled drinks are not included but are still available for purchase. If you are unsure what is or is not included in free breakfast and lunch - just ask! 

Parking Passes from last year are no longer valid. If you have not gotten a new one then please do so today.

The Knight's Table is an opportunity for anyone in the high school to order free food items every day from the google form put in the daily announcements. It is easy to use and when ordered by 11:45 am it will be available for pick up in the cafeteria at the end of the day. Ask the office if you have questions.

Planners are available in the office. Get yours so you can stay on track with your classes.

For Suicide Prevention Awareness Week:  Today we will cover the final step in ACT, which is Tell. After talking to a friend or loved one about their suicidal feelings or intentions, it is very important that you tell a trusted adult. This could include a parent/guardian, teacher, counselor or calling someone on the National Suicide Prevention Lifeline (1-800-273-8255). The adult can then help point you to different resources or ways to get help for your friend and this increases your friend’s safety.
