The James Logan Courier

MISCELLANEOUS
No TDAP, No schedule! A new State law now requires that all incoming 7th to 12th graders get a whooping cough booster shot, called Tdap, before entering school. You will not be able to get your schedule or be able to start school next year until you receive the shot and documentation is brought to the school office! Have your parents contact your doctor now to schedule this booster shot. If you have any questions about the shot or where to get it, please see the staff member in charge of immunizations in the office.

Catching Fire is the second book in the Hunger Games Trilogy by Suzanne Collins and it picks up where the first book left off, continuing Katniss Everdeen’s extraordinary story in the post-apocalyptic nation of Panem.

Talks of a revolution are spread all through the twelve districts of Pand, and whether she realizes it or not, Katniss’s failure to play by the rules in the Hunger Games helped spark the rebellion.

From wikipedia:
Walter Adolph Georg Gropius (May 18, 1883 – July 5, 1969) was a German architect and founder of the Bauhaus School who, along with Ludwig Mies van der Rohe and Le Corbusier, is widely regarded as one of the pioneering masters of modern architecture.

Born in Berlin, Walter Gropius was the third child of Walter Adolph Gropius and Manon Auguste Pauline Scharnweber. Gropius married Alma Mahler (1879–1964), widow of Gustav Mahler. Walter and Alma's daughter, named Manon after Walter's mother, was born in 1916. When Manon died of polio at age eighteen, composer Alban Berg wrote his Violin Concerto in memory of her (it is inscribed "to the memory of an angel"). Gropius and Alma divorced in 1920. (Alma had by that time established a relationship with Franz Werfel, whom she later married.) In 1923 Gropius married Ise (Ilse) Frank (d. 1983), and they remained together until his death. They adopted Beate Gropius, also known as Ati.
