Good morning, Falcons! Hope everyone had a fantastic weekend! Happy birthday to Ms. Sonia Garia Parra - have a fabulous day!
It’s Spirit Week! Today we dress like we’re from the 70s! I expect to see flared pants, leisure suits, wild colors, and feathered hair! Tomorrow is 1980s, so bust out your best neon, pegged pants, and members only jackets! Wednesday is the 90s, and Friday is early 2000s (Y2K!).
Thank you to everyone who applied for the 2022-23 ASB team! If you haven’t already, please make sure to check your Kern High email this afternoon to sign up for an interview. We’ll be running interviews this Tuesday, Wednesday, and Friday, and then we’ll have a few more spots next week.
We have the renowned “Clash of Classes” rally coming up on Thursday (4/28)! Make sure to check in with your class reps to help make posters and plan your dance routines! This is an IHS tradition that we haven’t been able to celebrate since 2019! Remember, each class has a color and theme:
Seniors: Early 2000s (Pink)
Juniors: 1990s (Blue)
Sophomores: 1980s (Yellow)
Freshmen: 1970s (Green)
Do you like to dance? Do you have mad skills and are currently part of the class of 2025? Perfect! Come to the activities office and sign up to represent the freshmen class in the next rally! We are representing the '70s decade and need freshmen dancers who want to perform! Stop by the activities office for more info and to sign up!
We start our musical chairs competition today at lunch! Come out and show your skills - winners each day will be entered into the “All-Star Game” during Thursday’s rally!
Are you a current sophomore or junior interested in joining Link Crew next year? If so, come to one informational meeting during lunch in the library Tuesday or Wednesday. The 4th-period lunch meeting starts at 11am, and the 5th-period lunch meeting starts at 12pm. You'll receive an application and find out what it takes to be a Link Crew Leader! Come find out how being in Link Crew will help make next year amazing!
Cheer tryouts are this week! Anyone interested in auditioning for next year’s team should join the Band app, which includes all the required forms and information. You can find the QR code on the IHS homepage.
Juniors - if you’d like to apply to be a “Flower Girl” for graduation, please find applications in the Activities Office. Flower girls act as the “honor guard” for the ceremony, and it’s a great opportunity to add to your resume!
Attention JUNIORS! T.A. forms for the next school year are now available in the counseling office at Mrs. Gillenwater's desk. Please DO NOT come during class time. Again, this is for current juniors only.
Applications for prom royalty are available in the Activities Office. Juniors will run for Prince/Princess and seniors will run for King/Queen! Applications are dueTODAY! Don’t miss out! We’ll be announcing the finalists on Thursday!
Seniors, tryouts for graduation speeches will be held today after school in P2. Speeches must be under 2 minutes in length and should incorporate the senior motto: “We don’t know about you, but we’re feeling 22!” You don’t need to be memorized for the auditions.
Seniors, remember that information regarding graduation and end-of-year activities is posted on the IHS homepage! We’d also like to hear what your plans are for next year, so use the form linked on the Class of 22 Instagram page to let us know what you’ll be doing! College, work, gap year? We want to celebrate you!
Tickets for prom and senior activities are still being sold from the finance office. Please make sure you have all of your paperwork signed and your debt cleared before purchasing a ticket. This week, prom ticket prices are $60. Remember, if you’re bringing someone from outside Independence to prom, you’ll need to have a form completed in the dean’s office. Absolutely no tickets will be sold during class time. Please visit the finance office before school, after school, or during lunch.
Have a great weekend, Falcons! Now, please stand for the Pledge of Allegiance. *Pledge*
