There's no school on Friday, Oct. 6th , and we've planned a very cool adventure for 7-12 students. We're headed to Watkins Glen State Park to see the gorge & the falls, and then have lunch; after that, we'll head over to the Watkins Glen International Racetrack to preview some race car activity on the track! See Mr. Mitchell to sign-up and don't forget your permission slip. 

 

Attention 7-12 students: Would you like to explore America's ONLY underwater cavern; defeat Miner's Maze; and tour a Wildlife Park? We'll be traveling to PENN's Cave and Wildlife Park on Saturday, Oct. 14, 2023. See Mr. Mitchell to sign up.

 

Any students in grades 7th through 12th wishing to be a member of the Student Council, applications are available in the office.  They are due back to Mrs. Welty by Wednesday, September 27th

 

The Homecoming theme this year is “FLORAL FANTASY”.  The dance will take place on Saturday, September 30th from 8 to 11PM.  Presale tickets will be sold until Thursday the 28th.  Cost is $12 per person and can be purchased from Mrs. Welty BEFORE or AFTER school and during PERIOD X.  Prices will increase to $15 per person if bought at the door.  This is a semi-formal dance so proper attire is required….NO JEANS and NO HATS.

 

On Friday during the pep rally the Homecoming Court will be announced. Those students will be required to ride in the parade at 5PM.  At half-time of the football game, the 2023 King & Queen will be revealed.

Some important notes regarding Homecoming:

The boys varsity soccer team suffered a tough loss on a close game with Randolph last night. After trailing early the boys bounced back with a goal from Brandon Carter. Then we took the lead when Brady German found his brother, Colin, left alone in front of the goal to put the Panthers ahead. Unfortunately, Randolph responded with a couple of late goals to snatch the victory. Come support the boys next week as they have three home games...Tuesday, Thursday, and Saturday.
