Attention EVERYONE (SAT Fee Waivers): If you are taking the 2010-2011 SATs, fee waivers are available for low-income, collegebound
students who meet the eligibility requirements. Please see Mrs. Galvez in the Counseling Department.
Attention STUDENTS (Mural Contest): We would like to remove the painting of candy in front of the school and replace it with another
that truly represents Simon Sanchez High School. If interested in having your painting in front of our school, please draw or sketch your
design on paper and submit to Mr. Canos in Room 104 or to the front office. A committee will decide on the winner. Family Dental Center,
the business which buys the Pacific Daily News for the social studies classes, would like to donate the paint. Please note that as you drive
by the school, you get a 2 second glimpse of the Simon Sanchez statue and what ever is painted behind it. Good luck!!

forwarded to the Business Office and you will have to pay for it before you receive your diploma prior to graduation, or before transcripts
can be released if you leave the school.
