Please feel free to contact me if you have questions. Stay positive, be safe, work hard. Blessings, Mr. Keller

From Mr. Lankford: Good morning, I wanted to make you aware of a couple of things that may interest you. The first is there will be a virtual college fair held April 20-23. If you attend you will need to sign up for each session you are interested in. This is a national fair so several sessions may not be of interest to you. There are several that are Missouri and/or midwest specific and several that discuss topics like admissions, money, choosing a college that fits, etc. If you have questions about the college admissions process I encourage you to attend it. The link for this fair is : https://www.strivescan.com/virtual/ The second item is, ACT is in the process of making the test more convenient to take. They are offering more summer dates and are working on the ability for you to take the test remotely at home. This function will not be available until sometime in late fall/early winter 2020. I have attached a press release to google classroom from ACT explaining these changes. Please reach out to me if you need something. Miss you all!

Here is the link for next week. Let me know if you need help. https://forms.gle/FBXmweanR2cMzS498

Windy Wednesday finds us pushing closer to the official end of our school year, and I want each of you to know I am always available to answer questions. Many of you have already done so. Let 's agree to finish strong and continue to do our best. I believe in you and encourage you to try . Thank you for your efforts . Mr. Bauer

Seniors and Senior Parents as well as the Pleasant Hope Community, In the midst of all that is going on in our world, I have worked with many others in gathering advice, talking with parents, our staff, and administration in developing a plan for a graduation ceremony. With the governor cancelling all school classes and activities for the remainder of the school year, we have come up with a plan for after school is out. We have made the decision to hold the ceremony on June 6th, 2020 at 10:00am. We are putting together a plan to hold the ceremony on the football field to allow for parents and their senior child to be a part of the ceremony so we can recognize all graduates in front of their classmates and parents while still allowing for guidelines of social distancing if needed at that time. This will allow us to have all speakers still speak at graduation, award scholarship winners and have all graduates be able to accept a diploma in front of their classmates and parents. The plan would be for the graduates to be spaced out on the football field, to have a sound system, podium, etc. up front to award diplomas at the given time and then have parents be able to space out on the football field and bleachers during the ceremony. If all of the guidelines for gatherings of less than 10 feet goes away prior to the June 6th date, we will plan to have a more formal ceremony like we have had in the past that will possibly be in the middle school gymnasium. In the result of inclement weather and restrictions still in place, the decision has been made to have graduates still be present and be spaced out in the gymnasium possibly. We will do our best to live stream the event and still allow for graduates to get a diploma as well as give speeches and recognize scholarships etc. I would love for all of the COVID-19 restrictions to go away and we can have a more formal, normal ceremony, but we felt it best to put together a somewhat concrete plan and date at this time for all seniors to be able to make plans for a graduation date and ceremony. Thanks to everyone for their willingness to help out in these difficult times and we will get through this and we will recognize the Amazing Class of 2020!!!! As the COVID-19 Pandemic progresses we will update as needed on a continual basis leading up to the June 6th graduation date. Thanks, Brent Offerdahl High School Principal Pleasant Hope R-6

Ms.Downey's Ceramics Classes: Question: What does duct tape, cardboard, toothpicks and a tin can have in common? Answer: I really don't know, but you could probably make a sculpture out of it! Don't forget to submit your sculpture+progress pics OR sculptor research paper today! Happy Wednesday! :)
