A huge congratulations goes out to our entire Volleyball Team for an outstanding season! While they battled hard last night, they unfortunately fell to Regina Catholic in a tough match. Please know how incredibly proud the entire school is of the dedication, heart, and relentless effort you all put in this season. You worked hard, you played with passion, and you have given us so much to cheer about. You truly made it far, and that is a testament to your hard work. Way to go, team!
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!
Girls basketball meeting today during homebase in the Gold gym. All freshmen girls are required to attend. Please let your homebase teacher know where you are going.
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!
