You will enter through the parking lot gate by the tennis courts, and drive thru to receive shelf-stable kits of food. Each kit contains enough food to feed a family of 4 with 12 meals. All you have to do is drive through and pop your trunk for our volunteers to place the items inside.

ACE Kindness Week
Big, Big THANK YOU to all the clubs and people who donated to ACE's Kindness Week Hygiene and Clothing Drive. We had a great turn out of hygiene products to bag together into kits for our students in need at Moffitt Elementary. In addition, a large amount of clothing was donated for the EagleXchange. It is times like these when our Eagle & Bulldog family come together to promote love and unity that makes working here so much more rewarding.

ATHLETICS
Basketball Wednesdays During Lunch Time
Mr. Beltran will be opening the gates near the ticketbooth to the football field during lunch time so that students can play basketball. We had about 8-10 students take advantage of this on Wednesday. Students are only allowed in the blacktop area ONLY if they are playing basketball. They have to provide their own ball. The area directly in front of the ticketbooth is off limits. If there are any issues with trash, inappropriate behavior, or other concerns then this activity will be canceled. There is no eating in the blacktop area.
Mr. Beltran will try to open the gates up every Wednesday, but sometimes he might not be able to if he has other immediate work obligations or meetings. He will do the best he can to keep Basketball Wednesdays consistent.
We will have limited updates on sports until the winter season starts up in two weeks, but winter sports schedules are linked in the "General Sports Information and Links" section below.
