From the Principal's Desk
Happy fall! With the beginning of October comes the cooler weather that our athletes have long waited for. The month of October brings many activities at Silliman. Homecoming week activities will begin on October 17th with a school pep rally at 2:00. The following day, will be the Homecoming Parade beginning at 10:15 a.m. followed by the Homecoming Game at 7pm against Hinds County. The Homecoming Dance will be on that Saturday night from 8:00–11:00 pm.
On the academic side, the end of the first nine-weeks is on October 10th. The following day, parents will be granted access to their child’s report card on RenWeb. Please review the report card(s) with your child, and discuss ways to improve for the next nine-weeks. If you wish to discuss grades or strategies for improvement, you can request a teacher conference by emailing the teacher or by calling our administrative office. - Mr. Lemoine

Student Spirit
The newest addition to our Friday night football games is our student section! It was started by Willy the Wildcat at the senior night game. The theme was "tacky tourist" and Caroline Hunt won the most spirited award! The awards are given by Willy the Wildcat sometime during the game to the students with the most school spirit. The student section is for all ages, so everyone come out and support your Wildcats!

Pep Rally
Cross Country
The Wildcats Cross Country team is off to a great start. They have had 2 district cross country meets. They will have another meet this Saturday. They have been working very hard. They practice every day after school or 7th hour. So if you see a horde of kids running on the streets, there isn’t a walk-out organized by the students; it’s just practice. There has been a significant change in the amount of JV kids who signed up for cross country. It may be because the little kids saw the leadership of our previous cross country captain Peyton “Pey Pey” Bickham, who is now serving bravely for the United States Air Force. One person who showed up big for the Wildcats was Katie Ryan. She placed 10th last meet for the JV.
The team also participated in the St. Jude Run in Baton Rouge, LA. They were especially excited to get to run with Emma Rogillio, who was at St. Jude in treatment at this same time last year. The team all participated and ran the 5K . - by JoAnna Cornette

Bugging Out

CPR
The 9th grade Health class had the opportunity to take a CPR class with Officer Paul Payne. He brought the mannequin into class and instructed the students how and why they should use this life-saving procedure. Students were instructed to secure the scene, clear the airway, and then to begin the actual compress and breathe procedure.. Students were allowed to work with the mannequin and were surprised that even the smallest girl could make a difference. Mr Paul instructed them in the different techniques for using CPR on an infant, a toddler and an adult; and made it clear that they should also call 911. It was a very interesting and worthwhile experience and the students were grateful for this time with Officer Paul.
