Apollo Announcements Tuesday, May 7th

**ACTIVITIES/EVENTS and THINGS TO KNOW** **Perhaps you have noticed our courtyards are looking cleaner and greener and the thanks goes to the Earth Week cleanup crews that included students from the Earth Club, Book Club, Group of Enthusiastic Friends, and The Green Thumb Club. These students volunteered their time, energy and knowledge of planets to create the scenic and attractive courtyards that we all get to enjoy. A big thanks to all. **Spanish Honorary cords will be distributed in the Community Room on Tuesday, May 7th, during both lunches. This is a one-time opportunity, and you should have received a note regarding the time and location. **Sunday, May 19th is Sunset Pride Day, also known as a Day of Service, in which you can volunteer to help beautify Sunset High. Opportunities to volunteer will be between the hours of 8-1:00 pm, and will include such activities as weeding, spreading barkdust and general lawn/garden maintenance. Check in will be near the Main Office. Just bring a pair of garden gloves, your favorite garden tool and lots of enthusiasm. **It’s time to register for the fall season of Water Polo – both boys and girls’ teams.
