It's the 1st day of August and that means back-to-school time is just around the corner! We're so excited and looking forward to a great 23-24. Watch for updates the next few weeks as we share more information for a successful beginning to the school year.
Just a reminder. The FFA Meeting today will be at Masters Beach and there is a charge to park at the beach lot. Members need to arrange for their own transportation. If weather dictates a change in plans, I will send information via this method.
The FFA trip to Big Surf tomorrow will leave at 8:30am and return at 5:00. Admission is $25 (instead of originally stated $20), bring exact amount in cash as change is not available.
FFA members planning on coming to clean the fairgrounds tonight are not needed any longer. We had several come early and got it done quickly.. Thanks to all who came and helped or who were planning to. All did a great job and the Super Farmer Team finished in second place.
FFA members attending the Fairground's Workday tomorrow will leave at 8:30am. Bring rakes, scoop shovels, etc. Gloves and work clothes would be good.
Parents/Guardians - if your JH/HS student plans to participate in any summer athletic activities (camps, shootouts, tournaments, etc.) they need to have an updated sports physical on file. MSHSAA is requiring new physical forms to be used.
There is a good chance that clinics do not have the new forms. New forms can be picked up in the high school office or by clicking the links below:
