Attention HUNTERS: Hunting Season is here! 7th grade Science will be studying the circulatory system and we would like to have your deer hearts. Please bag and freeze your deer hearts for our upcoming dissection and deliver all hearts to Mrs. Young or Mr. Armstrong. You don't have to be in 7th grade to do your part. We appreciate help from any grade level parent. We will be accepting any donations until January or the end of hunting season. Please do your part for science!
Good hunting and thank you for your support!

From Coach Duffourc:
Congratulations to both the 7th and 8th grade Volleyball B teams for their Second Place finishes this past weekend. They participated in the Hill Country Tournament on Saturday and had impressive wins over West Ridge and Hill Country to make it into the finals. Both teams faced a tough mix of 7th and 8th graders from St. Stephens in the Championship match. Great job on a good tournament showing!
FYI: Tuesday is our last game of the season!
