Naomi: Good afternoon, Eagles. This is Naomi with your end of the day announcements. First, the lost and found table outside the cafeteria is completely full. Right now it has eleven jackets, a trumpet case and, somehow, three left shoes.
Naomi: Everything still on the table at four o'clock this Friday will be donated to the clothing drive at the community center. Last year, a sixth grader came looking for his grandfather's old watch the Monday after the donation, and it was already gone. Please don't let that happen to you. Check the table at lunch this week.
Naomi: Second, the eighth grade trip to the science museum is next Thursday. Permission slips are due in the science office by Tuesday.
