Today is National Black Forest Cake Day.  Black Forest cake is the English name for the German dessert Schwarzwalder Kirschtorte, meaning “Black Forest cherry torte.”  Bakers layer several sheets of chocolate cake with whipped cream and cherries between each layer to make Black Forest cake.  In Germany, liqueur is a mandatory ingredient.  Otherwise, the cake can not legally be sold under the Schwarzwalder Kirschtorte name.

Time is running out to order your cap and gown for graduation.  See Mrs. Ridder in the Senior office for help.  Also, if you have not verified your name for your diploma, see Mrs. Clark in the Main Office.

Students and faculty, please do not forget to have your parking permit hanging on your mirror.  Cars without them displayed will be ticketed.
