Quote of the Week: We cannot always build the
future for our youth, but we can build our youth
for the future. ~ Franklin Delano
Roosevelt
Student directories were sent home this week
with the oldest or only student. Please check with
your student if you have not seen them yet. Also,
additional copies will be in the bookstore for $5
each. If you have any questions, please contact
Denise Bacon at D2bacon@aol.com.
Remember that Monday is a delayed start for
students due to a faculty in-service. The schedule of activities and special
dress for homecoming week can be found
on our website in the upcoming events
section. Many thanks to all the students and
faculty members who helped plan all the activities
for this homecoming week.
Go
Spartans!
