The Hawk: March 6, 2012

March 6, 2012 7:00 am
Good afternoon IACS Community,

Here are couple of mid-week announcements, plus the March Edition of the The Hawk. 

  • This Friday, March 9th the Student Government
    Association is sponsoring a High School Semi Formal Dance from 7pm – 10pm
    at IACS. The dance is $15 and includes food and drink. Tickets are on sale
    during this week and also at the door. (It would be appreciated if purchased
    ahead of time so we know the headcount for food.)

    I am looking for parent volunteers
    to help with this event, including Dads!     Please contact me at janetmorris1@verizon.net
    if you are able to help. We have some great decorations and food planned
    for the students and the theme is Nighttime in Paris. Please make this
    a night to remember for the students.
    Thank you!

    <span style="m excited to introduce "VMS" options for all of our vegetarians. VMS stands for Vegetarian Meat
    Substitute.  It is a quality, high in protein substitute which mimics beef and
    can be used in all recipes in replacement of beef. This lends us many
    more opportunities to give the vegetarian population a larger variety of meals. Y<span style="margin-right:0in;margin-bottom:10pt;text-align:left;t educate people that are not healthy. But you
