Hey Warriors, how many of you liked forming teams for events like DECA Dodgeball?  Well, this spring during Warrior Week we are introducing, for the first time ever, the all school Table Tennis Tournament!   Anyone interested in participating needs to form a team of four and stop by Mrs. Lee's desk in the English office and grab a sign up packet.  Packets will be available until Thursday and there's a limited amount of teams so it’s first come first serve.  

Seniors interested in playing in the Staff vs. Senior Warrior Week basketball game must pick up an application from Mr. Brandberg in the World Languages office.  Applications are due by Wednesday.
