ANNOUNCEMENTS 

• 2019-2020 YEARBOOK DELIVERY
• Hello Black-hawk community, 
  I wanted to send you an update on our yearbooks, especially if you are a senior who purchased a yearbook and may be leaving for school. In full disclosure, the publishing plants closed in early March which meant our book would be submitted and printed later. While it was frustrating, we were also excited because we wanted to incorporate stories about the pandemic and virtual school, also using the extra time to include more students. I was able to include quite a few cap and gown pictures and stories about our virtual spirit week, which I think really makes this book unique. Due to various reasons beyond my control, the yearbook delivery date keeps being pushed and is now some time in August. I understand the disappointment some of you may feel, and we ask for your patience and understanding. When the books arrive, we will host a drive-by pick up in small groups. If your whole family  has relocated, we will discuss mailing options. If we do return in person to school, they will be distributed to students then. If you have any further questions, please direct them to myself (the yearbook advisor) at cahillsm@staffordschools.net. Please remember these are unprecedented times and each person responsible for creating the yearbooks has done the best they can with the given circumstances. Our staff is truly excited for you to see the books when they arrive! 
  
  
  Best, 
  Mrs. Cahill 
• NATIONAL HONOR SOCIETY UPDATE:
  
• The school bookkeeper has set up "online payments" for the graduation stoles up to July 17th.  The cost is $23.00.  You or your parents can go to the school website to pay for a stole using a bank or credit card if you choose.  When we are able to distribute graduation materials you would only need to pick up the item(s) without the worry of trying to pay for it then.  After July 17th students will need to pay for the stole (CASH ONLY, EXACT CHANGE) in person during distribution day which has not yet been determined. NHS graduation stoles will be distributed ONLY to eligible students!
• NEW CANDIDATES invitation letters were distributed along with information packets before spring break. The information packets were initially due at the end of March. The packets will not be due until the second week of school when we return in August. Specific dates will be announced the first week of August. A formal induction ceremony will be held after selections have been made by the faculty council.
• Brooke Point HOSA Students had great success at the 1st VIRTUAL Virginia HOSA State Leadership Competitions
