SLHS families are encouraged to join us for Senior Night at the boys' and girls' basketball games this Saturday. Make it a point to come and honor the seniors and the contributions they've made to the boys' and girls' basketball programs.
Parents in attendance will also have the unique opportunity of winning free books for the 2012-13 school year by taking part in the "Falcon Fling," which is set for halftime of each game. Parents of returning or incoming SLHS students may purchase tickets the night of the event for the chance to make a half-court shot that will result in no book fee for the 2012-13 school year, a value of $475.
Tickets cost $10 a try, so start practicing now to win big this Saturday!
