John R Rogers High School
Daily Bulletin
Hello everyone –
today is Thursday, January 16th – and lunch today is Cheese Filled Breadsticks with Marinara Dipping Sauce.
We acknowledge that we are on the unceded lands of the Spokane Tribe. The Spokane people shared this place with other tribes through their relations, resources, history, trade, and ceremony. We thank the caretakers of this land, who lived, and continue to live here Since Time Immemorial. This land holds the knowledge, culture, and spirit of “The People of the River”.
Please rise and remove your hats for the pledge of allegiance. “I pledge allegiance..."
Students and staff – as a reminder, we have a convocation today in two sessions in honor of Martin Luther King Jr Day. It will take place during 3rd period. 1st and 3rd floors will attend the first. 2nd floor and fitness classes will attend the 2nd. If you are attending the first session, please report to your class to take attendance and then walk to the gym. If you are attending the second session, please wait for the announcement to be released to the gym.
