Good Morning, Mariners! Thanks for finding your way onto our ship today! We know that some of you are without power, had to take a longer way to get here, or have been relocated due to the floods. We are glad that you are here. We also hope that you will reach out to your teachers, counselors, or administrators to let us know if there is anything we can do to support you.
Get your winter ball tickets today in the ASB Room L-100 behind the cafeteria. You’ll need a signed permission slip to purchase your ticket. Prices go up next week so get them now!
Rain, shine, or just a long week, we have basketball games and soccer games against SLV this evening. Check out our Aptos Athletics website for times.
Life's most persistent and urgent question is, 'What are you doing for others?' " Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. said this to an audience in Montgomery, Alabama in 1957 – and it still rings true today and every day. Remember that Monday is Martin Luther King Jr day and we have no school. Think of it as a day on and not a day off. What will you do for others?
Keep your directional light shining, even in the rain!
