❤️ Panther Help Box
Thanks to Wyatt MacMillan and Sienna Harris, we now have a Panther Help Box located outside the counseling office.
If you would like to see the counselor or report something to the principal but prefer not to email or meet in person, simply take a slip, fill it out, and place it back in the box.
This provides another easy and comfortable way for Panthers to reach out when they need support.

US Pledge of Allegiance
At this time, please stand.
The privilege of this day is possible because of those who have fought and continue to fight for the freedoms we enjoy. Please place your right hand over your heart and remove your hat or cap if you are wearing one.
“I pledge allegiance to the flag of the United States of America, and to the Republic for which it stands: one nation under God, indivisible, with liberty and justice for all.”
Those are all the announcements for today.
Make it a great day, or not Panthers — the choice is yours!
