DAILY BULLETIN for FRIDAY, AUGUST 22, 2025

Regular Schedule Today

GENERAL

DRIVE IN MOVIE NIGHT

Kick off the new school year by coming to Pen’s free drive-in movie night TONIGHT. Watch High School Musical 1 under the stars starting at 8:00 pm in the student parking lot. No car? No problem. Bring a beach chair or blanket and enjoy!

TEXTBOOKS & DROPPED CLASSES

Made a schedule change and still have the textbook for the class you dropped? You must return this textbook to the library immediately to clear your obligation so you can receive a textbook for the new class. Don’t delay.

BULLETIN SUBMISSIONS

The deadline for Bulletin announcements is 1:00 pm the day BEFORE the posting is to run. On minimum days, the deadline is two hours before school ends, but still the day BEFORE. We do our best to accommodate multiple day runs, but it is entirely dependent on the volume and urgency of all the postings received for that day. All submissions are subject to editing for content, grammar and length. There is no word limit, but be sure to include all the pertinent facts (time, place, deadlines, who is sponsoring, if it is grade specific (ex: only freshmen should attend), and if it is a fund raiser, who it is for, etc.). Be sure to include a contact person with a phone number or email address in case there are questions. Email your announcement to Martha Middleton at [email protected]. 

SPEECH & DEBATE

Love to get in front of an audience, make your argument either on your own or with your team, and possibly be judged the winner? Then the speech and debate class is for you. Whether you are new to speech and debate or returning to the class, come to the first meeting next Tuesday, Aug. 26 at 3:30 pm in the Community Room (S21/22) for more information.
