Friday, Oct. 8 - Homecoming Parade and Game The Homecoming Parade is THIS Friday, October 8. Dress for this parade will be the band polo (or other fall activity jersey/shirt), black shorts/capris/pants, marching shoes. We will play our School Song on the parade route. Following the parade route, buses will take us back to CM where we will then have an optional pizza party before the game that night with pizzas provided by the Fine Arts Boosters. Students should sign up for the pizza party in groups of 4. This will happen in class this week. Call time for the parade: 2:15pm (you can park at the district office, but I highly recommend carpooling/being dropped off when possible) Step-off: 3pm Pizza Party: when we return from the parade Football game call time: 5:30pm on the practice field First Quarter Playing Test The first quarter playing test has been posted to GoogleClassroom. This test is due THIS Friday, Oct. 8 @ 11:59pm. This playing test has been posted for a month on GoogleClassroom. Because of this, late assignments will not be accepted.
