You can also purchase tickets before or after school in Mr. Miller or Ms. Griffo’s room. Tickets are $10 and will also be sold at the door. Also, as a reminder, each student is only able to purchase two tickets. Any questions, see Mr. Miller or Ms. Griffo.

Avatar is Shawnee High School's art and literary publication club.

There will be an informational meeting after school tomorrow in Mr. Krawetzke's room if you would like to learn more about this club.
Starting today, National Honor Society students will be available after school on Wednesdays in the GIC for tutoring in any academic subject. Whether you need help with homework, studying for a test, or just someone to review with you or provide study tips, help is available until 3:30, but come as soon as you can to make sure the tutors are still there.
