STUDENT INFO
· Attention Juniors and Seniors: Do you want to earn meaningful community service hours to boost that college application? Come to the library to learn how to serve as a tutor helping other students with subjects in which you excel. The work is easy, fun, and rewarding, and you can pile up those service hours! Stop by the library Monday through Thursday from 3 to 5 pm and speak to either Mr. McAvin or Mr. Zeoli for more information. We really need you!
· It’s on like Ping Pong! Ping Pong Tournament sign-ups are TODAY, 9/19 in the ASB room at lunch! Entry fee is $5 per person, and the winner gets a gift card! We’re smashing!
· NEED COMMUNITY SERVICE? Our next Lunches with Love delivery is Sunday, Sept. 24. We are known for delivering bagged lunches in the past but have been notified by Skid Row officials that they desperately need hygiene kits. Therefore we are ONLY collecting bagged hygiene kits (shampoo, soap or body wash, toothpaste, toothbrush, comb or brush, deodorant, disposable razor, bottle of water all sealed in a gallon Ziploc bag). For more info visit us at http://luncheswithlovemb.my-free.website/ and like us on facebook https://www.facebook.com/luncheswithlovemb.
· Costapalooza! Homecoming! Friday, Oct. 20, at lunch. Know of a great student band? Let us know! This year, Costapalooza will feature one student band on the quad during lunch. To be considered, email the name of your band, your members, contact information and a sample of your music to Ed McKeegan ([email protected]) no later than Friday, September 22. Team Costa reps will vote on the band to perform. Bands must have a minimum of three musicians. At least one member must be a current Costa student. Bands can bring their own equipment/set up, or we’ll provide it.
