Blake Stasiunas currently sits in 2nd place with a 74. Four other Rangers are in the top ten; Brandon Rougeau with a 76; Chad Cobian, Jason Pearce, and Cody Wing all shot 78. The second round will take place on April 9th in Austin.
- The Tug of War is today! 16 teams will be competing. Bring $1 with you today to 2nd period. When SSR begins, give your $1 to your SSR teacher so you can depart to the gym for the event. The gym will fill quickly. Proceeds benefit the Invisible Children in Uganda, and the The Jennifer Wilks Foundation fighting childhood cancer.
- Rangers, do you want to make your money work FOR you? Do you want to retire early?

REPEATS
- Nothing makes it feel like Spring more than a cool, delicious Jamba Juice. Come get your Strawberry, Mango or Caribbean Passion smoothie today during all three lunches or after school.
- Applebee’s Pancake Breakfast supporting VRHS Project Graduation is coming! Please help support a safe and fun graduation for our seniors by enjoying a fabulous breakfast this Saturday, April 3rd, from 8 – 10 a.m. at the Lakeline Applebees. The cost is only $5.00 – tickets are being sold by students and parents from Vista Ridge, but will also be available at the door. Don’t cook this Saturday – come let Applebees feed you in style!
- The SAT Fee Waivers for the May and June tests are here. Stop by the counseling office as soon as possible to get yours. These are for juniors only. Remember this means you can take the SAT free!!
- What do you do with your old cell phones when you upgrade? Well, don’t throw them away! Did you know that over 10 million cell phones a year end up in landfills? This is becoming a serious problem because lead and other heavy metals can leach out of the cell phones. These are not good for the environment–or the humans that live in the environment!!! The Environment Club is sponsoring a used cell phone drive for the rest of the school year. Just bring in your used cell phones (any type) and put them in the green box at the entrance to the library. Help us protect Cedar Park by recycling those phones instead of throwing them away!!

Why not use this 3-day weekend to get those things taken care of?! Ladies, don’t forget that the Prom Fair sponsored by Fairy Godmother is this Sat, April 3rd. And boys, go by Men’s Warehouse to see how to be a prom rep and get a free tux rental. More details can be found on Ms. Dong’s web site at the link, “Prom Headquarters 2010”!
