Hey 8th graders, are you looking to promote school spirit and make a change for the better in our school and community? Then T.O.P.S. is the club for you. A second interest meeting will be held on Thursday, October 29th at 3pm. Please be sure to check your email for more information and the Google Meet link.

As we continue to recognize Red Ribbon Week, tomorrow is Wear Red Day! Even though it is an all virtual day, please remember to wear something red to take a stand against the the dangers of substance abuse and its damaging effects on individuals and families. And now, the winners of yesterday's Red Ribbon Week trivia contest are:

1. Julie McClosky
2. Andrew LaForgia
3.Essence Kelly
4. Liam Kennedy
5 . Alexa Kling

Congratulations! These students will receive a Dunkin Donuts gift card in the mail. They knew the correct answer was VAPING. Researchers at Stanford University School of Medicine found that among young people tested for COVID-19, those who VAPED were 5 to 7 x more likely to be infected with the virus than those who did not vape. Yet another good reason NOT to use e-cigarettes! Today's question is: What chemical is released during exercise that elevates mood and decreases pain, in other words, creates a “natural high?” Use the link in Dr. T's morning email or in Mr. Ciccarone's or Mrs. Porowski's google classroom to submit your answer. Five more winners will be announced tomorrow. Good luck!

This is a reminder that the debate club will meet virtually tomorrow using google classroom with Ms. Rubin. Please be on time at 3PM.

Good luck to the HMS field hockey team who face William Annin Middle School in the finals today! Let's go Raiders!
