As we welcome the month of February, we are also excited to embrace the inaugural season of Pirate Lacrosse! The team will host 'Hat Pass for Lax Day' on Friday. They will sell hat passes for $2 at lunch on Thursday and students can wear a hat or visor to school on Friday. When you buy a pass you will be automatically entered into a raffle for a free window tinting. Lacrosse practice this week will be held on Monday only.
Parents should also note upcoming exam days and avoid scheduling appointments the week of February 19-22, 2019. Sophomores received class ring information on Thursday. Herff Jones will be present on Thursday until 6 pm to help with sizing, design and orders. Down payments are due on Thursday and payment plans are available.
