 - Congratulations 8th Graders and Toys for Tots!
- MS/HS building has raised $1198.00 for Christmas donation.
- HOLIDAY CHANGE FOR CHARITY COMPETITION - In keeping with the spirit of giving this holiday season, the Nurse's Office tried something new called a Holiday Change for Charity Competition within our building. The idea behind it was that any student could bring loose change or bills into our office and put it into the correct bin for their grade. This drive/competition will ran December 7 to December 18. The change was counted each day and a tally of each grade level's progress was shown each day in our room. We saw the winning, 8th grade class @ 2:30 on Monday, December 21 when we them served cake and juice by Mrs. Feeney and Mrs. Hopseker. If you have any questions please call us at 315-683-5214. We had a jingle ball time hearing your loose change jingle holiday spirit into our change bins to brighten somebody else's holiday. Great job to all, especially the students in the very close running, second place, tenth graders. Happy Holidays and thank you!!!
