The "Girl's Group" is sponsoring a
food drive for FISH pantries. Each advisory will be given a box (or more if
needed) on Tuesday Nov 12th
to begin collecting non-perishable food items. The advisory class that
gathers the most food donations by Nov 26th
will win a Krispy Kreme Donut party. Please encourage your classmates to
participate in this worthy cause. If you fill your box ahead of time and need
another one please email Mrs. Stewart or Mrs. Keith so we can collect the box
and replace it.
· Be
on the lookout - on December 4th we will be having a faculty vs. Senior
football game and tickets will be three dollars to watch during the last hour
of an Early Release Wednesday schedule. Monies raised will go toward
scholarships for senior dues. Tickets are on sale during lunch until Dec
3.

Come join
the STEMpunks in their fundraiser tailgate event this Saturday, Nov 23, from

food, see the robots, see other schools’ robots, and bring your parents to find
out about how to get involved with FIRST Robotics all over the region. All attendees are asked for a $10 donation to
