1. On Tuesday March 14, 2017 MWHS will be holding its biannual blood drive in the gym. This semester we are putting a little twist on the blood drive. As part of Mr. Pioneer week the blood drive will be used as a competition for our top 5 Mr. Pioneer candidates. Those who donate blood can do so in the name of a top 5 candidate, and the candidate that gets the most donors will get competition points to help them towards their goal of winning Mr. Pioneer. Our goal is to raise 200 pints of blood!   We are asking staff, faculty, students, and Community members  to come out and support this great cause. To participate, pick up a blood drive packet from the front office, and see Ms. Shipley to sign up for a time by March 13th.  The California Blood Center is in dire need of blood. Come out and donate, you can help save a life!
2. If you would like to join the XL Soccer Team, please stop by and sign the roster in room S-11 (no experience needed) Practices will be Monday – Thursday (time TBD) AND games will be on Fridays (time TBD). We will schedule games against XL programs from Redwood, El Diamante, Golden West and Sequoia. Let’s have some fun!

3. The final order for yearbooks from Jostens has been made. We ordered some extra yearbooks and they will go on sale starting March 8th in Room B-207 or online at Jostens.com. The price is $90 online, but show us a flyer on your phone that was sent to your school email account or print it out and get $10 OFF through March 10th! This applies ONLY to yearbooks bought at the school. Once these books are sold, that’s it, NO MORE BOOKS CAN BE ORDERED!

1.  Seniors!  Just a reminder that your Fresno State Scholarship Applications, FAFSA Applications and Dream Act Applications are due TODAY March 2!

2.  Attention seniors:  If you applied to a 4 year college and you received a D or an F on your transcript last semester, or if you dropped or changed a class that you reported on your college application, you ABSOLUTELY MUST let the college Admission Offices know!  You can either call or email, but emailing is the preferred method, so that you have proof of making them aware.  If you do not contact them concerning these circumstances, there is a very good chance that the colleges will revoke your admission offer, because you will be falsifying your application.  The UC and CSU campuses report that they will definitely revoke your admission offer, if you do not make them aware of these circumstances. For more information or questions, please see your counselor or Mrs. Sarabian

3.     Attention Seniors:  March 2nd is the deadline to submit your Free Application for Student Aid (FAFSA) IF you need help, the COS Welcome Center is open on Thursday from 8:00-4:30. They are located in Sequoia 104 behind the bright orange door. No appointment is necessary and they are bilingual.
