Remember: All seniors must receive the Meningitis booster or risk being excluded from school. Contact the school nurse, Mrs. Guarnero, with any questions.

DECA is starting the Kiss a Pig contest to raise money for the Hobart Food Pantry. Six administrators have graciously agreed to participate in the competition: Angela Patrick, Colleen Newell, Jake Rodriguez, Tracy Brumley, Monty White and Larry Juzwicki. Stay tuned for the results and hilarious pictures next month!

Each student in the School City of Hobart was issued a water bottle to take to and from school. We want all of our Brickies to stay hydrated! Why drink water?

· Up to 60% of the adult human body is water

· Roughly 75% of the brain is composed of water

· By the time you feel thirsty you have already lost close to 2 to 3% of your body weight

· Dehydration leads to an inability to concentrate, focus, recall, and can cause a rise in our stress hormones
