Just a friendly reminder to everyone that all Basketball games and Wrestling matches require a ticket purchased through Hometown to enter the gymnasium. This information is on the school's website or through the Hometown app. Students should purchase a student pass for $15.00. Please have your tickets ready when entering the building to expedite this process. No cash sales at the gates. Thanks for your time!

In Mrs. Bloom's and Mr. Visnosky's social studies classes, students have been learning about the first civilization, Ancient Mesopotamia. After learning about the first writing system ever recorded, cuneiform, they were able to experience how they wrote using what they had learned. They all agree that without this writing system, we wouldn't be able to write today!
Mrs. Roulin's Foundations of Art students were in the spirit this week while practicing blending techniques with colored pencils. As a result, they created Christmas bow drawings that depict the illusion of form through the use of light and shadow.
Student Council officers delivered blankets donated by school and community members for the Covers for Kids Drive. The donations usually go to Janet Weis Children's Hospital, but overwhelming support and a surplus of donations allowed them to also deliver extra blankets to AGAPE.
The holiday season is about giving to those in need, as illustrated by FBLA members Gracie Keller, Anesa Brown, and Elizabeth Hodder. These students hosted a food and supplies drive for homeless veterans. They received hundreds of donations from students and staff and delivered these items to veterans in-need.
