WEEKLY MESSAGE
Hello Mustang Family,
Exercising our right to vote is a fundamental part of our democracy, and it is crucial that we all participate. Voting allows us to have a say in the decisions that affect our community and our future. We strongly encourage all eligible voters to take advantage of early voting, which ends on November 1st. Make your voice heard and be an active participant in shaping our community and our nation. Election day is Tuesday, November 5, 2024.
We are excited to announce our second Mustang Round-Up on Thursday, October 31st! We encourage all students to bring cash to participate in our lunch festivities. Supporting our clubs and organizations is a fantastic way to show Mustang pride and help our school thrive.
This week, we are also celebrating Red Ribbon Week. We invite everyone to join in our spirit dress-up day to honor this important week. Please refer to the flyer for details on the themed dress-up days. Remember to stay within dress code and ensure your attire is school-appropriate.
Our goal is to push our students to be the best version of themselves because we know they are capable of excellence. We believe in each and every one of our students and are here to support their success.
Thank you for your continued support. Have a fantastic week, Mustangs!
