1 Daily Announcement Thursday, April 24, 2014 Attention Seahawks! On May 1 st, Scoggins Middle School is taking part in the nation s largest and most ambitious bullying rally ever attempted, The Million T- Shirt March Against Bullying. This is our second year to participate in this event, and last year was such a success, that we are going to participate again this year! We hope to be part of more than one million people nationwide, all wearing the same anti-bullying t-shirt. We are asking students to wear their anti-bullying shirt if they purchased one or a white t-shirt. This is also an attempt to set a Guinness World Record of The Most People Wearing the Same Shirt on the Same Day. We will be taking a school-wide picture in the gym, so it is important that everyone has a white t-shirt! We will have warm-ups and activities throughout the day relating to bullying prevention. Our school day will conclude with an assembly from approximately 2-3:30 in our gym. We will have feature guest speakers and entertainment focused on our message Break the Code of Silence. Yesterday your Seahawks tennis team took on the Clark cougars. In boys doubles play Ben Uzeil and Connor Krodel came away with a 6-3 victory. In girls double Parker Shipley, Emma Clark, Lillian Haney and Ashley Zoltowski won in a no contest. In singles play Trinity Vivona won 7-5 to finish district play undefeated.
