D&D Club
Did you catch the D&D bug thanks to Stranger Things, but struggled to find a group to join? Perhaps you were already familiar but faced the same issue - getting people together regularly can be challenging. Maybe you're totally new to Dungeons and Dragons and just need the right opportunity to give it a try!
Exciting news for all of you – Mrs. Riddle is planning to kick off an afterschool D&D club. If you're interested, please fill out the linked form. Completing the survey does not commit you to sign up; it simply helps us gather information to gauge potential interest. If you have any questions, don't hesitate to see Mrs. Riddle in classroom D2. With enough responses, we can progress to the next steps and start scheduling official meetings.
The graduation date is Friday, May 17 at 7:00 p.m. Graduation will take place at MTSU's Murphy Center. Practice will be on Friday morning from 8 to 11. Attendance at practice is mandatory.

Your senior obtained the relevant documentation and a form that requires signatures from the student and parent. If your senior has not discussed this meeting with you yet, please inquire about it as soon as possible. We would appreciate it if you could sign the forms and have them returned to your student's English teacher at your earliest convenience.
