Parents needed for Fact Finding Committee A committee is forming to look into installing a permanent roof over the cafeteria patio. As you may know, many of our students enjoy some leisure time outside on the patio during lunch or during study hall. Students brave all kinds of inclement weather year round in exchange for some fresh air and sunshine. A permanent roof would expand the usage of the patio not only for lunch times, but for a whole host of events and educational activities. If you are interested in joining the committee please reply to the below address. The committee will probably meet once or twice before setting up a recommendation. Thank you,Lynn Gurrentz lynngurrentz@comcast.net

Home Coming Parade Returns – Friday, Oct 24th The tradition of the Homecoming parade returns. This parade consists of cheerleaders, band, color guards, pantherettes, Homecoming court, and the coolest floats we have ever seen. This year we are bringing back this old tradition. Putting a float together gets everyone into the Homecoming spirit by involving everyone because they can put teams together to build a float. This is going to be a lot of work, but I believe that this is the year to bring it back. Start building that float today. Any questions?
