Ready for today’s free answer? 👀
When I was in high school, you could find me playing first base and skiing down the slopes… that trivia answer belongs to Mrs. Simmons! 🎿⚾
Be sure to write it down on your trivia sheet. You have until the end of the school day to turn your form into the office.
Thank you to everyone who participated and helped us celebrate our amazing staff this week. Keep those guesses coming, Panthers! 🐾
US Pledge of Allegiance
Please stand. This day was made possible by those who have fought and continue to fight for the freedoms that we enjoy. Let us honor and respect their efforts by standing, removing our hats, placing our hands on our hearts and reciting the pledge of allegiance. 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 of our announcements for today. Make it a great day or not, Panthers! The choice is yours.
