Damonte, can you imagine going to bed hungry each night, knowing that the next morning you still may not have any food? FCA and ROTC are partnering together for a canned food drive.  Last year, we competed against schools across our district, and we brought in 1500 pounds of food, which was enough for first place.  This year, our goal is 2000 pounds of canned food.  You can help out by bringing canned food or other non-perishable items to your first period class, and members of FCA and ROTC will come and pick them up.  The drive goes from Dec 3 to Dec 17^th.  Thanks Damonte, for helping out those who have less than you do.

SENIORS, IF YOU HAVE NOT HAD YOUR YEARBOOK PICTURE TAKEN, there may still be time to schedule a sitting by calling Life Touch at 851-0444.  Otherwise, LifeTouch will be on campus one day only on December 9, 2013, to do make-up sittings. However, students who have their pictures taken then may not be able to choose which photo will be included in the yearbook.

The 2013-2014 Student Speakers Contest sponsored by the Lions Club is seeking students, grades 9 through 12, who excel in public speaking to enter their contest.  Scholarship awards are granted to those winners.  This year’s topic:  Electoral College:  Passé or Good for the Country.  If you would like more information about this contest please stop by the Career Center.
