6.  If you participated in one of those activities, or feel that your grades should have warranted an academic award, and you didn’t get an invitation, please see Miss Jenkins in room 7 before or after school.  If you got an invitation, but you think it is incorrect (you should be getting an award not marked, your name is misspelled, etc.), please see Miss Jenkins in room 7 before or after school.  DO NOT go to Miss Jenkins during class unless she is your teacher!! She will just send you back to class.  If you cannot get to Miss Jenkins’ room, your parents or you can email her at any time.  Please let her know of any issues before Monday, May 19 so that she can make sure that everyone gets the awards they have earned on Awards Night!
