***Attention all Parents***
There is currently a nationwide TikTok Challenge encouraging students to destroy school property and steal items from the school. We have had atleast two incidents so far. Those participating in these unlawful activities will be disciplined. (Fines, Restitution and Suspensions). Please have a conversation with your children about not participating in these activities. Your help with this matter is greatly appreciated.
As a reminder, Senior Milestone pictures are available tomorrow from 8:15-3:00 in the auditorium. Seniors will have the ability to do the tux-n-drapes head shots or the multi poses with 3 pictures of them in regular clothes and then their senior headshot in the tux-n-drapes.

Friday, September 10th, we will be having a ceremony to honor those for 9/11. Please refrain from picking your students up unplanned because it will take awhile to locate them during the assembly. Also, as a tradition on Friday’s, we show our school spirit by wearing red/white. It would be nice to witness a sea of red/white Friday during our assembly. Thank you!

On Sept 15th from 10:30-12:00 we will be having a Skype meeting with Senator Joe Manchin for students interested in Military Service Academies. Students must sign up in the Student Service Center no later than Sept. 13th. Here is some more information from the Senator's office:
As you may know, each year military service academies award four-year, fully-paid scholarships, which start young men and women in their military careers. Each scholarship provides a four-year education, room and board, pay, exclusive benefits, and valuable leadership training. Admissions to military service academies require a congressional nomination. I want to do everything I can to ensure West Virginia students are prepared for this highly competitive admissions process.
