Weekly Updates December 9, 2018
Happy Sunday Pirate Families!
It was a fun filled week of school spirit in the boro'! A special thank you goes to Coach Burch, Coach Wright, Mrs. Bowers, Mrs. Hendrix, our cheerleaders and our student council association for coordinating all of our spirit week and homecoming activities. Students had a great time participating in spirit days, the PEP rally and the homecoming basketball games and dance.
Last week also included 3 nights of basketball, a night and full day of wrestling, track and swimming. Congratulations to our ladies basketball team who won Friday night at homecoming. Well done to our swim team who continues to place at each event and our wrestlers who had outstanding performances this week. They were within a point of beating Dixon on Tuesday which is a huge accomplishment in the world of wrestling. A special congratulations goes to Kaitlyn Kelley for being selected to the All-Area Volleyball team and Isabel Robayo and Callie Davis for qualifying for states in track and field.
This week in the boro' includes wrestling at home on Monday, track on Wednesday, home basketball on Thursday and at Dixon on Friday and wrestling at Trask on Saturday. Rho Kappa will visit the Coastal Carolina State Veterans Ceremony on Saturday to place wreaths on the graves of deceased veterans.
Our project graduation team has launched a new fundraiser this week. Parents are encouraged to post a positive message on our electronic marquee. Messages could include happy birthday, good luck on a sporting event, etc. Messages will run for 24 hours for a $20 donation to project graduation.
