Hey Cowboys, want to save a life? Now you can. The American Red Cross club are selling measles pins for a donation of $1. However, you can donate any amount of money you'd like, because for every 80 cents donated, one child in Africa will be vaccinated from Measles. Measles is a common and fatal disease, but can be easily be prevented with a simple vaccination. Please come up to any Red Cross member to donate. Donations will be received through Mar.11^th.

Stop by the library to check out the architectural models on display. Program attendees may have the opportunity to earn extra credit for attending. (The library tables will be closed at lunch on the 28th for the presentation; be sure to make other study plans that day.)

 ARE YOU TAKING THE SAT SOON?  If so, you are encouraged to take a prep class that will help you succeed.  TIER ONE, one of the largest SAT preparation providers in Southern California, is once again holding prep classes right here at Canyon High School.  These classes will run a full 20 hours in total length, be taught by a skilled and specially trained SAT instructor, will include two proctored exams and will cover material for the entire test (the Math, Critical Reading and Writing sections). The only fee involved in this program is $90 to cover the cost of materials.  If you’re interested in the prep classes, please see your counselor to get more information about registering.  You need to register ASAP to ensure a seat in the class.
