football game will be released to go watch the game. There will be concessions (drinks, chips, candy,
burgers & dogs) for purchase at the game and it will run fro 2:45 – 4:25. Any student not purchasing a ticket will
report to the Commons to stay until dismissal at 4:25. Tickets are on sale at all lunches everyday.

necklace that is silver toned. Please
return to office.

some photos of the school's float at the Veterans Day Parade? The robotics
team would love to see them! If you have photos that you're willing to allow
them to use, please send them to Josh Witt (s004637@student.knoxschools.org).
