RED RIBBON WEEK/Homecoming Week
We have reached the month of October and in this month, there are many celebrations, one being Homecoming. This year in continuing tradition we will be having a homecoming court. We will allow our 8th graders to run for Homecoming King or Queen, our 7th graders, Prince or Princess and our 6th graders, Duke or Duchess. The students were able to pick up applications this week if they would like to run for one of these categories. If your child completes an application, they will receive a parent consent form for approval from you. If you have any questions, please contact the school.
We will host a Homecoming Dance for students on October 27, 2023 from 6:00 p.m. to 8:00 p.m. All students will need to meet all campus criteria to attend the Homecoming dance. Details to come!
