NORTHEAST WALKATON: This week we will begin fundraising for the Northeast Walkathon. The money we raise will be used for events and activities like Proud a Thon, the Eighth grade dance, and Moving Up Ceremony. Student leadership will collect a dollar for the walk, but we now have an online way to raise even more support for our school. You will receive a paper with a QR code to scan and make an account. It only takes a few minutes. Then you and your family can text your page and share it on social media. If you create an account online your name will be put in a raffle to win an Amazon gift card! There will be other prizes for the top teams and fundraisers! Let’s work together to reach our goal!
SCHOOL SPIRIT WEEK: Next week is our final week of Fall Sports and to end out the season we will celebrate with a School Spirit Week before the big night game against Broughal Middle School. If you participate in 2 of the 4 days you will receive a ticket for free admission into the game. Those that want to attend and don’t participate the cost is $3.00 to attend. Show your spirit by coming in wear the following:
Monday – Pajama Day, Tuesday – Sports Team Jersey Day, Wednesday – Mis-Match Day, Thursday – Green and White Day
On Thursday we will hold a Pep Rally to celebrate those student athletes’ accomplishments for the season and prepare our football team for its final game of the season. The game will start at 7:00 PM on Thursday, October 21, 2021. Hope to see all of you there!
