Cheer Meeting on Tuesday ... last opportunity
Students interested in trying out for Keller ISD middle school cheerleading squads for the 2018-19 school year are required to attend, with a parent or guardian, one of seven mandatory tryout meetings set for February 1-13.
In order to tryout, the student and a parent or guardian must attend. Tryout dates and additional information about this year's tryout process will be posted after the mandatory parent meetings.
The remaining meetings are scheduled for:
Monday, February 12, at Keller Middle School
Tuesday, February 13, at Fossil Hill Middle School
Meetings will be held from 7-8:30 p.m. for both incoming seventh and eighth-grade students. This is a change from the initial plan to have separate meeting times for each grade level.

Annual Leukemia Fundraiser by STUCO
STUCO is kicking off our Annual Leukemia and Lymphoma Society Fundraiser. We have been steadily getting all the supplies out and I sent a video and slide show. *A few teachers have already sent money in.
We have a hefty goal this year and need to raise a lot to beat last year as well! The goal is $100 per Advisory Class.
Thanks so much for showing the video and slide show multiple times as well as advocating daily for LLS. A new incentive is a free Epic Waters Water Park Ticket for students who donate $25.
The winning advisory class receives a pasta party from Olive Garden (a minimum requirement is that our campus raises $750). The contest means that your advisory class could have the most money but not win. Encourage students to put their silver coins into their friends’ advisory classes to help boost their own class’ chance of winning.
