• For the pep rally next Tuesday everyone needs to stay off of the basketball court .   Steve and Verlyn will have the floor ready for the game and they want everyone to stay off of it.  We will do everything on the stage.  Also, if the freshmen participate in the Highlander Fling during the school song, they will need to do so on the stage, not the basketball court.
• The following people have books that are overdue in the library today/Fri. 2/19.  Please take care of this ASAP:  Kailin Odens, Macy Rokusek, and Jonathan Gratzfeld
• USD Dental Clinic will be March 2^nd & 3^rd.  Forms will be available on line or in the office.
• Seniors pursuing a career in the education field, Scotland SEA is offering a scholarship.  Check out the flyers posted around the building and contact Mrs. Haase.
• National FFA Week: On Friday of this week, the coloring contest papers will be handed out for students K-2, 3-5, MS, and HS. These will be due back on Tuesday.
• Each day there will also be a picture of “Flat Harold” around school for MS or HS students to find. Harold is a stuffed animal the FFA Officers have “adopted” and cared for since this summer. The first student to find it is to take a picture with it where they found it and bring it to the Ag Room for a prize. 
• Kiss a Pig – to end the pop tab drive, there is a bit of an incentive. Each teacher will have their name on a jar either in Mrs. Haase’s (MS) or Mrs. Walloch’s (HS). Students then can bring in pop tabs to vote for who will have to kiss the pig. The pig will not be real, so it will either be the model pig from the ag room or a stuffed animal. Jars will be taken and counted at the end of the day on Tuesday to figure out who will kiss the pig during farm Olympics.
• The final pop tab winner, either elementary, MS, or HS, will be announced on Monday, March 1^st.
• CDEs and Sign Ups: Sign us are being posted in the ag room on the bulletin board as details come in. Make sure you sign up.  Contests will be as follows McCook CDE on March 8th, Brule County Livestock CDE on March 17th, Howard CDE on March 15th, District 4 CDE in Bon Homme on March 17th, and Tri-Valley CDE on March 29th.
