It was the first event of Senior Year! Senior Sunrise -- The Senior class grabbed a blanket, enjoyed morning snacks and the beautiful sunrise while symbolically welcoming their senior year as they watched the sunrise with their classmates! Thank you to our Senior Sponsors, Mrs. Bailey and Mrs. Bollin, as well as our parent volunteers who made this special morning possible.

Yesterday, Spirit Week kicked off with our annual Powder Puff games. The freshmen and seniors were victorious on a misty, cloudy Sunday that, for once, didn't compete with the Lions! Our band sounded fantastic in the stands and did a great job leading some cheers, and our athletes and their coaches conducted themselves with class and grit. We are very proud of them and the sportsmanship they showed on and off the field. Huge thanks to our Parent Club as well as the staff & parent volunteers that event possible!
