They are currently in need of coats, so Student Council is sponsoring a coat drive which will run Monday the 23rd through March 5th. Please bring in new or gently used coats to the collection bins which will be in department offices and the main office. Thank you, Warriors! Your generosity is greatly appreciated!

Attention NHS members. We need 10 volunteers to work at Freshmen Showcase on March 2nd from 6-9 p.m. Pizza and drinks will be provided. Please sign up at Mrs. Lee’s desk in the English office if you are interested.
