The downtown parade for homecoming will be at about 2:30. At 2:15 there will be a special parade for the grade school at the school, then they will head downtown. The theme for floats is board games.
There will be a dance on Saturday at 7:30, the day after the game.
Next Wednesday, October 3rd, after school we will be taking Fall Sports Pictures. Volleyball, Football and Cross Country for High School and Middle School will be taken. Bring order forms along with money if you are interested in pictures.
Mrs. Griffiths' MTSS group is working on technical reading and writing. Technical reading requires you to follow (sometimes complex) instructions, such as a manual used by a mechanic. So students were divided into groups of 2 or 3 students. The students were given instructions on how to construct a pirate out of Lego pieces. Students pictured were trying to find the necessary Lego pieces to construct their pirate. When the groups finish, they will create their own figure and write out instructions for someone else to follow.
HES parents: We will be showing off our spirit on Friday by wearing Railer gear, orange, or maroon to school!
