Today

• 12:30-1:30pm: North Dakota State University

The junior class earned an out of uniform day today because it won the H2O for Life fundraising challenge. Remember, all out of uniform guidelines in the Student-Parent handbook apply. This means “No yoga pants, halter tops, tank tops, or bare midriffs; no sunglasses; and only knee length shorts and skirts will be permitted.”

The Islanders host the Albany Huskies in the state boys’ basketball quarterfinal tomorrow at 10:00am at Williams Arena. Because of the game, classes are canceled tomorrow. 

Going to the game? The student section is doing a gold out – that means all gold everything. Join in the fun!

Morning transportation routes will operate normally tomorrow for those students who plan to ride to school to catch a fan bus. Afternoon transportation routes will leave DeLaSalle at 1:00pm. Fan buses to tomorrow’s game will leave from the front of DeLaSalle starting at 9:00am. And you can buy breakfast in the DeLaSalle Cafe through 9:00am tomorrow.

You can pre-buy tickets to tomorrow’s game before and after school today in Albers Atrium and during lunches in the Florance Center. Looking for Islander spirit wear? The School Store will be open before and after school and during lunches today.

You can find more information about the state tournament on our March Madness webpage.

Some regularly scheduled school activities have been canceled this week because of the boys’ basketball state tournament. Art Club will not meet tomorrow. And Science tutoring has been canceled this week.

Congratulations to Sacar Anim ‘15 and Jarvis Johnson ‘15, who were named Mr. Basketball finalists over the weekend. These Islanders make up two of the five finalists. The winner will be announced after the boys’ basketball state tournament. The Mr. Basketball Award recognizes the best boys’ basketball player in the state and is typically awarded to a senior.

The varsity girls’ basketball team is one win away from going to the state tournament. The Islanders face Park Center in the section championship Thursday night at 6:00pm at Anoka High School. Students, sign up here to ride a fan bus to the game. The bus leaves from the front of DeLaSalle at 4:45pm.

All Advanced Placement students are reminded to register and pay for AP exams before next Monday (March 16). If you are in an AP class, you should have received a link to a Google form, which you need to fill out to register for all of your AP tests. Thank you to those who have already done this!

Each exam costs $33. if students qualify for Free or Reduced Lunch, then each test is free but students must still complete the registration form. If you pay by cash, please place in an envelope clearly marked with the student’s first and last name, the names of the tests, and the amount included in the envelope. Please pay the exact amount; change is not available. If you pay by check, please pay for all tests with one check, which can be made payable to DLS AP Program. Remember to include the student’s name in the check memo. Please pay Ms. Carter directly in person in B104.

A limited number of scholarships are available for students who have a financial barrier paying $33 per test but do not qualify for Free or Reduced Lunch. These students should see Ms. Carter ASAP.

Please contact Ms. Carter with any questions about registration or payment.

Auditions continue today for Frankenstein, the spring production from DeLaSalle Theatre. Auditions are from 3:30-5:30pm in the Music Room.
