New… Join Weaver Academy Art Boosters at our Community Shopping Event hosted by Ten Thousand Villages on Saturday, November 21st from 6:00 – 8:00 p.m. 15% of proceeds will be donated to support the Weaver Academy Art department. Ten Thousand Villages is a non-profit fair trade retail store in Jefferson Village shopping center (1564A Highwoods Blvd).

Reminder/ Warning: It has come to the attention of the administration that some of our 11th grade students have been leaving school for lunch. Please be reminded that 11th grade students are not allowed to leave campus for lunch. Any student that is off campus for lunch other than 12th grade students will jeopardize their open lunch privileges in the future. Thanks for your understanding and cooperation in this matter.

All students who originally participated in the Weaver/Elsewhere Art Everywhere program will need to meet in Ms. Woods’ room on Monday, November 23rd from 4:00- 4:30 p.m. We will discuss plans for the Spring TreeFest/Public Art event. See Ms. Woods if you are unable to attend.

It is time to enter the annual Poet Laureate contest. Entry forms and directions are on the Circulation Desk in the Media Center. If you have any questions, see Mr. Kammeyer or your English teacher. Deadline is December 18th.

Summer Ventures in Science & Math: Any current sophomores or juniors interested in learning more about this residential summer program should see Dr. Harris.

6th Annual CTE & PVA Canned Food Drive . . . CTE & PVA students are once again working together to collect food for people in our community. Canned and boxed food can be turned in to your teachers or you can drop them off in Ms. Allison’s room, Mr. Johnson’s room or the counseling office. Bring your donations in anytime between now and Tuesday, December 15th.

Guit*ART… Announcing the official kick-off for the Guitar Departments Guit*ART project. You can leave your mark on the school permanently with a custom painted guitar that you design and paint on the Weaver hallways. Think of it as school sanctioned graffiti! This will be a fundraiser for the Guitar department to purchase a concert guitar, but is also a great way to showcase our creativity and spruce up our hallways. The Booster club will be giving the walls a new coat of paint and then all of you will have the opportunity to design the inside of a guitar if you participate and find sponsors for your design. You don't have to be an artist, just have fun and create a design that makes you happy. Make sure and check out the sample guitar designs in the guitar department hallway. Guit*ART guidelines and submission packets are in a folder hanging outside Mr. Lui's room. Students have until January 5th to submit their designs.
