In the wake of a heartbreaking tragedy, our neighboring community needs our support now more than ever. Join us as we come together to lend a helping hand by relieving some of the financial burden. We are going to host Penny Wars starting 10/9 thru 10/14 to help the Shields Valley families. If your child asks for a few coins this would be the reason. If you can share, please do so. Let the game begin.
Tomorrow, we kick off College Application Week in Hornet Country! Teachers will be sharing their own alma maters and experiences throughout all grade levels, and we encourage parents to do the same. Seniors and parents are encouraged to attend the College Application Night on Tuesday evening, and all are encouraged to sport their college pride on Friday. Questions regarding the week and applying for colleges (and more!) can be directed to our School Counselor, Ms. Tiffany.
Come support the FFA during the Fall Festival!
