HOMECOMING WEEK
This week (Oct. 4-8) is Homecoming (HC) week. Please note that at the request of the student council, the Powder Puff game has been moved to 7:30 am on Friday, Oct. 8.

Student council will sell homecoming tickets in the Cove every day next week. Cost is $20 for single tickets and $30 for couples. Tickets will also be for sale at the door at $20 each, so $40 for couples.

Clothing should maintain decency and not be overly revealing. Jeans, cargo pants, and shorts are allowed. Shorts should be fingertip length or longer, and dresses and skirts must be knee-length or longer. Shirts/T-shirts/blouses must not have any references to alcohol, drugs, crime, or any other impropriety. Students may NOT wear athletic shorts or leggings.
