Good morning Shells! Today is Monday, September 8, 2025.
Please stand for the Pledge of Allegiance followed by a moment of silence.
I pledge allegiance to the flag of the United States of America,
and to the Republic for which it stands, one Nation under God, indivisible, with liberty and justice for all.
Attention Juniors: We will be offering an opportunity to take the PSAT/NMSQT on Wednesday, October 8th at 8am to any student who would like to take it. The cost is $13, and you can sign up and pay in the guidance office. For more information, please see Mrs. Garrison or Mrs. Hansen. The deadline to sign up and pay is Tuesday, September 9th.
NHS has started their Toiletries drive through September 30. Donations will help not only our schools but also the Roxana community. Drop your new, unused, personal care items and toiletries off with your advisory teacher. The advisory class with the most donations will earn a pizza party on our next Connect Wednesday. Check the flyers around the school for a list of items.
The ROX Gallery is a new space in our school dedicated to showcasing outstanding student work—art, poetry, writing, projects, and more. We want YOUR creativity on display!
If you’d like to submit work, talk to Ms. Robins, Ms. Schrewe, or check out one of the posters around school for more info.
Let’s fill the ROX Gallery with your talent!
Teachers, please check your email this morning for an email from the REA re: t-shirt orders.
Students, when coming to games this year, unless you are a REEF member you do need to pay to get into events. Student tickets are $2 each. If you have your REEF membership, you have entry into all games.
Homecoming Guest Forms are now available in the Main Office. Forms need to be turned in to the Main Office by 3:00pm on Wednesday, September 17th.
