We would like to welcome Pam Betteridge, Ruth Beck, Amanda Hickey-Leblanc, and Jocelyn Brothers who are guest staff with us today.

On behalf of all the students and staff of Montague Regional High School, we would like to welcome all reps here for Post Secondary Day. Grade Eleven students are reminded that you have access to the displays at 10:00 am. A Naval display bus including interactive presentations will be located at the ramp doors on the way to the gym.

Because it is College & University Day, your Student Council President, Rebecca Collings, will not be able to go around to all home rooms during A Block to see costumes and pumpkins. It would be greatly appreciated it if each home room could send one person down to the Cafeteria (after announcements) with the number of people dressed up and the number of people in the class, along with your pumpkin.

Happy Birthday to Becca Richards!

Today’s Special in the Cafeteria: Grilled chicken breast on a bun with fries and a small white milk for $4.30.
