Today is Monday, February 8th a B Day.

Today’s Black History Month highlight is James E. West. Chances are that you use West's microphone every day.

In 1957, West went to work at Bell Labs. He and fellow scientist Gerhard M. Sessler developed an inexpensive, compact, and highly sensitive microphone, which they patented in 1962. Today, 90 percent of microphones use their technology, including those in cell phones, laptops, baby monitors, and hearing aids.

No Echoes on Monday, February 8. Students should make arrangements to get home immediately after school. Echoes will resume on Tuesday, February 9.

For all 9th graders interested in playing Men’s Tennis for the 2020 season there will be a meeting before school at 7:30 AM, in Mr. Suiter’s room #8, on Thursday, February 11. Please be at the meeting so that Coach Suiter can give you information concerning the spring tennis schedule, practice schedule, summer tennis, team uniforms and answer any questions you may have about the program. Again, the meeting will be for 9th graders interested in playing men’s tennis this season, in room #8 at 7:30 AM, in Mr. Suiter’s room #8, on Thursday, February 11.

All 9th grade girls considering going out for high school golf should stop by the office and add their name to the sign up sheet. Coach Youngkent will add you to the team Schoology page and will email more information to you!

Even though the Governor lifted restrictions on the amount of people in attendance at events, we will not change our restrictions here at Peet or at Holmes. Attendance at our events is still limited to 2 Family members, plus any sibling of the athlete that lives in the household. Students are still not allowed to attend.

Today’s lunch will be: Chicken Tenders, Cheeseburger, Oven Fries, Clementine, and Fruit Cocktail.
