Quick Reminder
Wednesday, October 19th: 11th Grade will be taking the PSAT/NMSQT shortly after 1st period.
Highway 95 will be a battleground this Friday!
Granger vs. Bartlett - how many bags can each community gather. Each community is gathering reusable shopping bags, backpacks, purses, anything that we can use to make care packages for the homeless. Socks With A Soul delivered approximately 25 bags last year. Our goals this year is 100 care packages!
Please help FCCLA by donating your gently used reusable shopping bags, backpacks, purses, etc.
All donations need to be in by Friday, October 21st to count in our Battle of Hwy 95!
Donations can be turned in to Ms. Baker early and she will take them to the game for official count.
