Watch for Mr. Shank to be on the roof soon

SCS is excited to be hosting the area's only
Cow Drop Event November 3rd!
Tickets are only $10!
How It Works:
- The baseball field will be marked with squares.
- Purchase as many $10 squares as you want.
- A regular, untrained cow will be led to the center of the field and released.
- We wait for the cow to do what a cow does naturally.
- Whatever square the meandering cow drops a "pile" on wins.
- Prizes: 10% of the gross tickets sales (a potential of $2500) will be awarded to the winning square. The eight surrounding squares will receive $100.
Tickets can be purchased at the front office.
Help us sell tickets!
Pick up a few extra tickets and sell them at your office and to your friends and family. Proceeds from events like this help us keep tuition as low as possible.
