Students, we need to raise money to properly
frame for display the Honor Flag given to us by the Woodmen of the World on
9/11 (about $200 is needed). So, we’re going to have a “frame the flag”
day tomorrow, Sept 20. For this one day only, come to the
Bookstore off the Commons and donate $1.
For your donation you will get a sticker to put on your hat that will
allow you to wear any hat you wish (silly or otherwise) as long as it does not
violate system codes for what it advertises (nothing illegal, offensive,
etc.). Any monies raised over the amount needed will go to support other
schoolwide activities.
