Having trouble figuring out what to get your Valentine? Well, your Student Council has come to your rescue! They will be selling chocolate roses before homeroom starting tomorrow. The table will be set up in the 7/8 hallway. The roses cost $1.00. They are a great way to say Happy Valentine’s Day to your friends, teachers, family and that special someone.

Survivor Book Club is finally here! Join us in the Media Center tonight at 7 PM to discuss this month’s book, Charles & Emma, The Darwins’ Leap of Faith by Deborah Heiligman. It’s the story of the marriage between Charles Darwin, the author of the Theory of Evolution and his wife Emma, a deeply religious woman whose faith gave Charles a lot to think about as he tried to reconcile science and religion. All are welcome…bring your opinions & snacks, if you like.

Attention 7^th & 8^th grade Math Olympians! Contest #4 is tomorrow. Please go to room 237 immediately after 8^th period. Do not report to your regular Advo. Bring a pen or pencil.

Art Club, which was supposed to meet tomorrow after school, has been cancelled due to some scheduling conflicts. Mr. Colby will reschedule.

Any 7^th or 8^th grader interested in playing Extramural Volleyball needs to attend a mandatory meeting during advo either today or tomorrow. You must be at one of the meetings; it will not take the entire advocacy. See Coach Schewe if you have any questions or conflicts.

All students interested in trying out for Freshman, JV or Varsity Softball should attend the mandatory meeting tomorrow, Feb. 10th from 7:30 - 8:30 PM in the old cafe at the high school (that’s the one in the front of the building!) This is for players only! All students who are interested in playing modified softball will meet at a later date.

Have you been thinking about what you might want to do for the Iroquois Learning Fair? You can choose to do a project on anything from gravity to Shakespeare to math games to the Civil War. It can be something new or something you’ve already done for a class. You can work individually or as a team of up to four people. Clubs are also welcome to sign up for a table display. Every participant has the chance to win great prizes. The Learning Fair is coming up on the evening of March 18, so give it some thought and let your teachers know what you want to do! The deadline to submit your project is February 12^th.

The annual Iroquois Magazine Fundraiser is coming at the end of February. You can order new magazines or renew your subscriptions and 40% of each purchase goes to help our school! There will be more information at the kick-off on February 25^th!

As many of you are aware, the 82 and 78 teams decided to donate funds raised from their morning and afternoon snack sales to two wonderful relief organizations, Partners in Health and Doctors without Borders. Thanks to the support of staff and students, we were able to cut checks in the amount of $260.00 to each organization. Congrats 78 and 82 teams!

Just a reminder….although Mr. Frank will not be having formal review sessions. He will be available to discuss any concerns, questions, or to clarify any issues you may have concerning the test. Mr. Frank will be available Monday, during lunch and after school; Tuesday, during lunch and Wednesday, before school. No passes are needed to attend any Q & A session. Even if you don’t have a specific question, just sitting in and listening to the conversation usually proves very worthwhile, so he encourages you to attend as many sessions as possible.
