Powder Puff Game
 As part of our homecoming week activities, we hope you will join us for our annual Powder Puff Game on Thursday, October 16th at 6:30. This is always a fun evening as the girls play a rousing game of flag football and the homecoming king is crowned. This year SGA will also be hosting a BBQ tailgate on the hill behind the TV station beginning at 4:30pm. You can purchase tickets through the office or from any SGA officer. Tickets are only $5.00 and include BBQ, baked beans, cole slaw, mac and cheese, rolls, peach cobbler and sweet or unsweet tea. We will cap off the evening with a pep rally immediately following the game.
Parade
This year's homecoming parade promises to be a good one. With the theme "The Show Goes On" our SGA is looking to remind parents and students alike that although the years may change, the traditions are still the same. Our honorary Grand Marshals this year will be Dr. Bob Knight and Mrs. Sarah Young. Both have served our middle school for many years and this year's seniors want to recognize them and the important role they have played in the lives of so many students. The parade will begin at 1:15pm so get here early to reserve your spot.

Should your child need to take any kind of medication during the day, a form needs to be on file with the medication in the original bottle. If your child becomes sick during the day, Mrs. Swinson will call you. Please keep your child home until they are fever and/or vomit free for 24 hours.
