The Yearbook needs students to take pictures for the upcoming volleyball and football games in October. Right now, we only have a few football and volleyball pictures. If students do not volunteer to take pictures, there will be no pages for these sports in this year's book. The Yearbook is only as good as the students who make it. Please see Mr. Barham for information on taking pictures.
The first Safe and Sober Graduation parent meeting for the class of 2013 will be held Wednesday, October 17 at 7:00 in the multi purpose room.
