I just want to take this time to congratulate everyone for passing their midterms! 
The 1st stress is OVER!! (of course we still have finals coming up…sorry!) Hopefully those who didn’t pass now know what they need to work on for their finals…good luck!
Now, this is the time of year when things start to get a little crazy. February Vacation is fast approaching, we are going to be getting ready for the Shriner’s Circus soon, and the Military Ball is only 67 days away! (as of 2/2/10) Time does seem to fly when you’re having fun Just so everyone knows February Vacation starts Fri., Feb. 12th (Teacher Workshop), and runs the week of the 15th. Sometime during the 3rd week of March there will be a Circus meeting so we can go over who wants to sign up, the different stations you can work, and t-shirt sizes. Don’t worry, we will announce when the meeting will be…
And now…the moment the Seniors have been waiting for…THE MILITARY BALL!!! For those of you that haven’t attended a Ball, I will tell you they are a BLAST!!! The food is amazing, there are tons of awards that will be presented, and a dance to finish out the night. Now in past years we have been able to change out of our uniforms into ‘civies’ (street clothes) so that we could dance comfortably…but there is a catch; ALL CADETS HAVE TO WEAR THEIR UNIFORMS ON THEIR ASSIGNED DAYS FROM NOW UNTIL THE BALL!!! If any cadet refuses to wear the uniform no one will be able to change for the dance. PLEASE WEAR YOUR UNIFORMS!!! (note: if givin the ‘OK’ from Top or Colonel to not wear the uniform there will be no penalty.)
Even though there will be a class where everything about the Ball is explained, I am going to give a list of what is needed for the Ball and when the Ball is:
*The Military Ball is on Saturday, April 10th, 2010
*The uniform is Class A; instead of wearing the green button-up shirt cadets are told to wear white button-up shirts, long-sleeves and with a collar.
*Male cadets wear black bow-ties instead of regular ties (Top can rent out bow-ties). Girls still wear neck-tabs.
*CADETS WHO DO NOT SHOW UP WILL RECEIVE THE GRADE OF ZERO, UNLESS SPECIFIED WITH TOP OR COLONEL IN ADVANCE.
Please make sure that your uniforms look impeckable! Let’s get excited!!!
