Other Dates

Uniform Fitting Makeup day – Friday 10:00 am

LASER TAG – Friday August 25 (optional)  We have hired a laser tag company to come in and set up a course in the large gym.  Students can play all they want from 10 am – 2 pm.  There is a cost of $10 but would include unlimited play.  Groups play 4 on 4.  Rules are set by the company.

I talked with the Marching Band on Wednesday about the upcoming Eclipse and what they can do.  During the time of the eclipse we plan to be inside for sectional time.  I will give directions to our instructors to bring students outside to view the eclipse outside but only if they have the proper eye protection.  Sunglasses do not count as proper eye protection.  I have been informed that the library is giving away free eye protection and many of the larger stores are selling them for around $2.00 a piece.
