Back to School Carnival Change of Date!
Due to Excessive Heat warnings on 8/24, we are moving the Back to School Carnival to 8/31


The JV tennis match in LC today and the JV golf match Thursday in Baxter have both been canceled because of the heat. As of now, no make up dates are scheduled.

With the excessive heat warning in effect next week the HS football team will practice Monday - Thursday at 7pm at the HS stadium. We will be full pads every day.

Saturday August 19th the HS football team will have their lawn chair scrimmage at the HS stadium. We will practice with the youth football players from 8-9am (grades 3-6) and begin our scrimmage at 9:15am.
Jamboree in Labette the following week will charge admission so we are asking for donations of water or Gatorade (sports drinks) at our lawn chair scrimmage instead.
If spectators want to donate water or Gatorade (sports drinks) we will have a place marked for it at the stadium entrance.

❤️💛Beginning tomorrow morning drop offs will be at the main gym. Food Service will be providing "Grab and Go"breakfast for students eating school breakfast. We will let you know when we go back to the cafeteria for breakfast. Thank you for helping everyone to get through the beginning of school❤️💛
