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 17th. 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
