Underclass Make-up Pictures: October 19 – it’s a green day.

Students can go down to the theatre at any time during the day with a pass from a teacher. It is primarily for students who were absent on the original picture days. If students who already had a picture taken want to get a retake, they need to bring their original picture package with them to give to the photographer.

Sports Updates

Good luck to our chorus students performing tonight and Orchestra next week.  We host home football games this week and next. Good luck to Field Hockey who competes tomorrow in the district tournament as well as to our Varsity Cheerleading squad. Congrats to our Cross Country team on a great meet this past weekend!

Students interested in trying out for winter sports need to have all forms turned in and cleared before tryouts, which begin on Nov. 6th. Ideally everything should be submitted to the Athletics Office by Nov. 1st for processing.  Stop by or see their webpage if you have questions.
