The Panther Periodical - March 25th, 2024
Hello Panther Community!
Our campus is one of the best locations in the country! Our campus hosts many events, from religious services to political organizations to athletic events. Each of these events benefit our students and community by increasing our campus platform while also financially benefiting our students. On April 8, your students will have the opportunity to view the solar eclipse right here on campus! We will provide solar glasses for everyone, and look forward to yet another on campus event that is the envy of everyone in the city. It is a privilege to be in the Eastside community!
As a reminder, we will not have school on Friday.
Have a great week, and Paws Up!
