Hey Warriors: Thanksgiving is quickly approaching, but not everyone can be home for the holidays. We still have many of our troops fighting for our freedom overseas. Please help our troops during Veteran’s Week by donating either supplies, in the boxes located throughout the school, or money in the jars located in the DECA store, main office, and library. Some supplies that are needed include: energy bars, beef jerky, travel-sized games or cards, single servings of trail mix, candy, cookies, cereal, powdered beverages, etc.
There will also be a card for everyone to sign to send to the troops during both lunches on Friday, November 12th. Thanks for your support, Warriors!
