Parents of seniors, a college financial aid representative will be at HHS on Wed, Nov 8th at 2:00pm to discuss the changes and the process for FAFSA (Pell Grant). She will be meeting with the senior class for a presentation in the cafeteria. Parents are welcome to come. We will also record the session and post a link for it if parents are unable to attend. The FAFSA process is getting completely overhauled. It is not expected to be available for use until December, specific date TBD. Colleges are aware of this, so students should go ahead and complete college applications without their FAFSA info at this point.
Congratulations to our HHS Lady Railers on their All-League Honors.

Mrs. Knopp's third grade reading group will be hosting a lemonade stand at the Fall Festival on Saturday, Oct. 28. Students will donate the proceeds to Alex's Lemonade Stand Foundation, which provides funding for childhood cancer research. The foundation was created in memory of Alex Scott.
Alex was diagnosed with cancer at one. When she was four, she asked to host a lemonade stand so she could give the money to her hospital to help other children with cancer. That first stand raised about $2,000. Alex lost her battle with cancer when she was 8. Since 2005, Alex's foundation has raised over $250 million to fund more than 1,000 research grants.
Stop by our stand to have a cup of homemade lemonade. The cost of the lemonade is a donation. If you are unable to make it to the festival, please consider making a donation by using the QR codes on the attached poster. Thank you for helping us help fund cancer research. #LevelUpRailers
