That night, they helped better the lives of over 1,200 families by handing out food in the parking lot of Living Word Church. If you wish to support the club in its effort to help the community, you can do your part by purchasing one of our official T-shirts. Staff members may purchase a T-shirt in order to participate in a “Dress Down” day every Thursday until the end of the school year. To participate, they must wear their Interact Club shirt on those days. Shirts are $10.00 for students but $15.00 for staff to account for the “Dress Down” day. If you wish to purchase more than one shirt, please fill out the form for each individual shirt you would like.

FFA Update
Earlier this week Lila Frey, Milla Welch, Bella Johnson, Brielle Trautman, Alys Leader, and Cody Dahr participated in the AFY Area Meat Evaluation contest. We went to Godfrey Meats in Loganville and evaluated 25 cuts of meat, grade a class of steaks, and a full side of beef and pork. Students had to determine the name of the cut, and what species the cut came from. I am proud of all of our students for their hard work.

Pawsitive Pal
The Pawsitive Pal of the Week is Mr. Nate Barrett! Mr. Barrett’s dedication to students and their success goes far beyond the classroom. As the Science Department Chair, he continuously works to expand opportunities for students, including creating the school-wide Science Fair and offering independent study options that allow students to explore their interests in the world of Physics in greater depth.
Mr. Barrett is truly all-in when it comes to supporting students. He frequently gives up his personal time to attend extracurricular events, showing his unwavering commitment to our student’s growth and achievements. His passion for education and student success makes a lasting impact on our school community.
Thank you, Mr. Barrett, for your leadership, dedication, and support! We are lucky to have you!
