School Spirit is Alive at Creston
Thank you for everyone that came out and supported last Thursday's Pinkout night. It was wonderful to see so many staff members participate in a variety of forms from playing volleyball, to coaching, to running the announcer's booth, to taking tickets, to running the concessions, to just being present to help supervise. These are special nights. :)
