HAM BINGO Friday beginning at 7:00 PM. Yes! 7 PM not 7:30. There will be twelve (12) hams given away plus cash prizes. Come join in the fun.

OUT OF UNIFORM
Looking for something special to put in that Easter basket? Out of Uniform passes will be sold for $1.00 and up to 5 may be bought.

Uniforms –Parents take a few minutes and look at your student’s uniforms. Do hems need to be taken down? Do pants or shirts need to be mended? After the Easter break we will still have two full months of school left. Let’s keep uniforms neat and clean.

Parents are the super protectors! You, the parent, will have the most influence on your teen's decisions and actions during their adolescence. Research shows us that teens need (and secretly want) your help and guidance. Participants will learn what research tells us really works to grow healthy teens. Learn how to build your teen's safety net. Parents can't do it alone. Learn how to connect with other parents to raise healthy teens.
