Good evening Raider Families, It is hard to believe that we are entering our last week before winter break. We have several fun activities planned for our students. The first is on Monday. The Night of the Arts is a celebration of our arts department. We will kick the night off at 5:00 pm with Martin’s Concessions. So come out and get some supper before enjoying a gallery walk of our students’ art projects. We will also have a presentation of our 8th-grade mural project before ending the night with a band concert. We also kick off Spirit Week on Monday with Merry Monday. Students can wear red and green! You can view the rest of the days in our newsletter. We also have a Boys and Girls basketball home game starting at 4:45 pm vs. Standback on Tuesday and a home wrestling match on Wednesday against Gravely Hill. This is a reminder that Friday, December 15th is an early release day. Students will be dismissed at 1:00 pm. Also, 8th graders need to continue to turn in their field trip forms and money for the field trip. The total field trip cost is $100. If anyone has any questions they can reach out to their student's homeroom teacher. Finally, please review our Northern Newsfeed for more important information, https://www.smore.com/dz1vw.
