Theme for tonight's football game - CAMO!
Juniors/Junior Parents –
Reminder, the junior class works the concession stand each year during the football season to raise money for Prom. This is our only fundraiser to cover the cost of the event, and juniors earn points towards their Prom ticket.
There are 2 shifts with 10 people per shift. Those students who are involved in band, cheer, varsity football, or work on Friday nights may have a family member or friend (9th grade or above) work to fulfill their obligation.
Currently, we have NO volunteers for the Homecoming game next week. PLEASE check your schedules and sign up using this link -
https://forms.gle/1hMRhBaDUE9pLxKB6 .
We cannot do this without your help.
Thank you,
Susan Rupert
