What a great group of teachers and supporters within the school we have for the 2010-11 school year!

Make sure to thank them for all their hard work for the Greenhounds!

Greenhound Water Bottles!

Due to consumption and not recycling of plastic bottles, the academy is taking action! Our mission is to cut down waste by selling our reusable water bottles. They are $10 each. Each study hall will compete to see who can sell the most. Juniors who don't have a study hall are welcome to sign in with a teacher for credit if they choose to. The study hall that sells the most water bottles will win a pizza party! The first study hall to reach 50 bottles will get a prize, as well as gift cards to the top three individual sellers. The drive starts on November 16th and end February 1st. See Mrs. McQuitty or Mr. Taber for more information.

You can choose from an orange or green design. The proceeds go to our academy and anyone can get one. Go get yours!
