Hello Knight Family:
Our faculty has a tradition of marking the calendar days in December with the “Twelve Days of Christmas.’ During this time we have dress up days and this year we are inviting our student body to participate with us. We believe it is a simple and fun way to celebrate the holidays. The themes are listed below in the calendar of events. On Fridays we wear Knight gear to help cheer on our Knights.
Our Knights in Action club and our Student Council are working together to support the Eastern Illinois Food Bank in their efforts to fill their shelves. Each day we collect a specific item for the food pantry. This week we collected canned veggies, canned fruit and peanut butter. Next week we are collecting boxes of oatmeal, cans of tomato soup, cans of chicken soup, boxes of pasta and boxes of mac and cheese! For extra incentive and even more fun we have made this a class competition and the FRESHMEN ARE WINNING by a landslide! The Class of 2026 is killing it this year!
With final exams right around the corner, we would like to ask you to remind your student to utilize their 8th hour study hall. Study hall provides all of our students opportunities to work on assignments, prepare for tests, or get extra help from a teacher. Please encourage your student to take advantage of this time. Semester exams are December 20th and 21st . Exams are 20% of your students' grades. All classes are required to have exams. The only students that are exempt from final exams are seniors who beat the SAT state average. Bottom line … they matter!
Mrs. Seegmiller
