They'll be facing off against the Regina Catholic Regals at Center-Point Urbana High School, with play starting at 7:00 PM. This is a massive game, so we need the stands packed and loud! The fan theme is Camo Out—get in your gear and show your spirit! Cost is $8, and tickets can be purchased on the Bound app or by using a card at the gate. No cash will be accepted. Let's go, Cougars! Bring home the Regional title!

Want to cheer on the Cross Country team at the State Meet in Fort Dodge? Sign up for the XC Pep Bus! It's open to all high school students (XC team members who are not running need to sign up too). The bus leaves Saturday, November 1st, at 8:30 AM and will return around 8:00 PM. The cost to ride is $10. This covers transportation & your admission. Permission forms are available in the office and must be returned with your $10 payment by 3PM today. You'll need to bring extra money for food and snacks during the day. See Mrs. Jones for “day of” info. Let's go cheer on our State qualifiers!

Attention students and staff! Our 8th grade TAG students are working hard on a meaningful Veterans Day initiative with the theme, "Service to Our Nation." They are asking for your help to raise $250 to purchase flags. The goal is to create a powerful display by placing these flags in front of the middle school to honor our veterans on Veterans Day. Please consider making a small donation to help the 8th graders reach their goal and show your respect for those who have served! Look for signs posted around the school with a QR code that you can scan to make a quick and easy donation. Let's help our TAG students make this a memorable tribute!

Attention Trap team, your butter braid packets need to be turned into the office before the end of the day.

Wrestlers, listen up! There will be a wrestling meeting today in the Gold Gym during Homebase. Remember to check in with your Homebase teacher first before you come to the gym.

All girls interested in playing basketball this year, including all freshmen girls, are highly encouraged to attend an important meeting with Coach Krueger! The meeting will be held tomorrow during Homebase in the Gold Gym. Please make sure to check in with your Homebase teacher first before heading to the gym. Don't miss this opportunity to learn about the upcoming season and get involved!

You've got Main Character Energy—now use it! National Honor Society (NHS) is hosting a life-saving Blood Drive on Tuesday, November 4th in the Gold Gym from 12:30 PM to 6:00 PM. You're not a side character in someone else's story; you're the reason they get a second chance. Be the main character. Be a blood donor. Make your move and secure your spot by scanning the QR code on the official flyers around the school. And remember—to be at your best for this heroic act, please come hydrated and have had a good meal beforehand!
