Congratulations to senior Marissa Jeffords.  Marissa is the recipient of the Maine Field Hockey Association All Academic All Star Award.  She was nominated by her coach and our athletic director.  She has maintained a 4.0 GPA through her high school career.  Marissa started her field hockey high school career on the varsity team as a freshman.  She also played basketball as a freshman, and girls lacrosse and indoor track during her high school career.  Marissa has been involved in the National Honor Society, the Key Club, the Natural Helpers Club, and also took part in the Student Council.  Marissa and her family reside in Standish. Marissa has plans to continue her education in the field of biology with hopes to go to Quinnipiac University in Connecticut. Marissa's coach, Coach Caterina Riitano says, "I am honored as a coach to have had the privilege to coach such a great individual.  Marissa is a determined, hard working young lady on and off the field, and is a great role model. Great job, Marissa.  Your parents, coaches, and teammates are proud of you!" 

Bonny Eagle Key Club is participating in The Eliminate Project. The Eliminate Project strives to eliminate MNT. MNT stands for maternal and neonatal tetanus. This is a general tetanus found in newborns. Its happens when a mother is not immunized prior to birth. A newborn usually gets infected immediately after birth either by the use of non-sterile instruments or exposure to an open wound.

MNT kills more than 50,000 newborns every year. So, what can you do to help?

From the week November 30th to December 4th we will be having an Eliminate Week. During this week Key Club will be educating you on everything there is to know about those affected by MNT and what you can do to help.

It only takes $1.80 to help one women get immunized. We will have donation boxes in the office starting the Monday we get back from break (November 30th) until December 4th. Anything can help.

We will be having a spirit week as well. So Mondays spirit day, when we get back, is PAJAMA DAY.

And as a thank you for all your support and hard work we will be having a

Charity Ball on Saturday, December 5th. The ball will be held here at the high school. It will be from 7:00 to 10:00. It is a semi formal/formal attire. Tickets will be sold during lunches the week prior. Tickets are $5 on Monday/Tuesday, $7 on Wednesday/Thursday and $8 on Friday. Donations will also be accepted at the dance. It will be a lot of fun. We hope all of you can make it.

Last but not least the Top 3 donators, will receive Dunkin' Donuts each day for the week following the dance.  The winners will be announced at the dance.  

There will be no JROTC on Friday, November 20th. 

There will be no PM PATHS on Monday, November 23 and Tuesday, November 24. There is no school on Wednesday, November 25th.
