The Dirt On The Dirt, Can You Dig It?

 

The service-a-thon is today! Students will be completing service projects around the community. This is a great way to give back to the community. We have done some great service projects over the years and we encourage you to participate. In the past we have laid sod, made a retaining wall at the school, and have done many cleaning projects around town.

Don't forget that Sadie Hawkins is on November 7th from 7-10 pm so start looking for dates!! For a little background info on Sadie Hawkins: this was an informal dance that the ladies invite the gentlemen too. The dance itself is named after a comic strip character, Sadie Hawkins. In the strip the Sadie 

Hawkins day fell in November but it was never given am exact date. In the strip the unmarried women of the town got to pursue the bachelors and "marry up" with the ones that they caught.  

XC was in Snake River last week. Congrats to Elise Kelsey who took 1st place!! Good luck to the Bears who will be in Pocatello for the Bob Conley Invitational.
