Mustang Stampede Weekend Challenge
Murchison Families!
The weekend is HERE! I hope you enjoy some much-deserved relaxation this weekend. Thank you for every share and donation you all have contributed to our fundraiser. We appreciate everyone’s support as we raise funds for Technology and Teacher Grants.
If you haven’t registered your student on mybooster.com, it’s easy to do this weekend. Then, consider sharing with extended family and friends. And if you are able to, consider making a donation as well. Every share and donation adds up to make a BIG difference for our school.
If your family does get a donation this weekend, you’ll be part of the Weekend Challenge! This weekend ONLY, students can earn a Zooma-rang by getting $2 per lap or $60 flat in new donations on mybooster.com.

Pet Vaccination Clinic at HHS
Is there a dog or cat in your life that need their annual vaccines but you don't want to break the bank? Don't you worry because HHS FFA has you covered! On Monday, March 7th from 5 - 7 pm we will be hosting a Discounted Vaccination Pet Clinic provided by Dr. John Tarlton of Austin Avenue Animal Hospital. This will take place at the HHS Ag Building located at the back of the school next to the water tower. You can get your entire yearly vaccines for $20 per animal. There are other shots provided as well and we have listed the prices of them on the flyer. If you have 3 or more pets fill out the pet info sheet and send it to longhornlana@aol.com for a speedy check out.
If you don't need vaccines, they will also have heartworm and flea preventatives available for your pets, and if that is all you are needing you don’t have to bring your pets for that.
