Students are able to choose the room they wish to eat their lunch in. We encourage students to coordinate with friends to select a room that works for them. Once the allocated spaces are filled the sign up will close and another selection will need to be made. Students need to use their own name and can only sign up for one spot. If a student does not follow these guidelines all of their sign ups will be deleted and that student will need to sign up again properly. Take note that certain classrooms have a quiet lunch so if you enjoy a quiet lunch sign up for one of those classrooms.
Below is a link for 9th grade students to sign up for committees as part of their Freshman trip. There are options for service and fundraising which each student needs to sign up for at least two of each committees. This will help student achieve their requirements of 10 hours of fundraising and 10 hours of service before they leave on their trip.
