The Weekly Panther 26 October 2016
Food Drive on behalf of victims of Hurricane Matthew: Olive Garden has partnered with us to hold a school-wide non-perishable Food Drive on behalf of victims of Hurricane Matthew, its flooding, and its power outages. Our goal is 100% school participation, which would amount to at least 2,000 pounds (1 TON!) of food! We are asking each 2nd block class to bring in food from now until October 31, 2016, and to build a pyramid out of their class contributions. The class with the largest amount of food will receive a luncheon catered by Olive Garden. THE TIMELINE OF THE FOOD DRIVE IS BELOW (more instructions on pick up will be sent on the 31st): Monday, October 31--An International Thespian Society member will come by each classroom to photograph the students with their pyramids. Tuesday, November 1--A member will bring boxes to your room so that you can box up the items. A slip will be given to you to count your total and record it. Wednesday, November 2--We will come by each classroom at the end of the day to pick up your boxes and the winner of the Food Drive Pyramid Contest will be announced. The winning class can choose to have their lunch either on November 14 or November 15. Good luck to all!!!!
Homecoming **All Homecoming events originally scheduled for today, Friday, October 14th have been rescheduled for November 4th due to Hurricane Matthew.
