Here's a great way for senior parents to know about all Project Celebration activities, as well as other senior activities.
Registration is now open for the Boys & Girls Club Basketball League for kindergarten thru 2nd grade students. The deadline to register is Sept. 22.
Please take a moment today to remember the events of 9-11-2001 and those who lost their lives that day. Also, remember the unity our country had immediately after those attacks. The UNITED States of America desperately needs that unity in these current days!

This past week, students in Mr. Justin Stone's Principles of Agriculture class attempted to "buzz in first" when they competed in "FFA Jeopardy." Mr. Stone created the game to help students review FFA history for an upcoming exam. Students rotated at the buzzers, while another student did their best Alex Trebek impression for each round. Good luck to everyone on their exam!!
