We still have quite a few orders at the school too. -Many are too big to send home with a student! these can now be picked up wednesday morning from 8-8:20 if possible. If you do not have a student at school than you do have to pick up. thank you
Junior class clothing orders are ready for pickup! Round #1
If you would like to stop and pick up your order, it will be available in the Art Room today (Tuesday) from 2:45–3:45 PM.
Some of the bags are rather large to send home with students, so we are trying this pickup option first.
Anything not picked up today will be sent home with a student tomorrow if you currently have a student at school and the order will fit in their bag. Some were handed out at volleyball last night, and some had it delivered to their home!
Staff orders have already been handed out.
Thank you for your patience and for supporting the Junior Class! We had our biggest order ever! Cant wait to see everyone wearing the new blue and orange!
Another order will open on a few short weeks for those who missed this first round! Thank you!
💞If your child is signed up to receive a Heart Screening tomorrow (Sept. 10th), PLEASE make sure that they have their paperwork with them; if they do not, they will not be able to receive a screening. As a reminder, HOSA is covering the cost of the screening! 💞
Our Fall Festival is coming up, and this year we have A LOT going on!
FALL FESTIVAL: 6:00–8:00 PM at the Armory
We’ll have:
FREE GAMES in the MPR
FREE CARAMEL APPLES
WALKING TACOS $6
INFLATABLES — $10 wristband
COFFEE TRUCK outside from 4:00–8:00 PM
and, of course…
OUR BIG AUCTION FROM 6:00–7:45 PM!
The auction is already shaping up to be a GOOD one. Students are putting together their baskets, families are donating items, and we have some pretty amazing things coming in.
Here’s just a little sneak peek:
SDSU Fire Pit donated by MDS
Trojan Stadium Seats + Season Passes donated by GF advertising
Handmade Fall Decorations
Custom-Painted Side Table with a sunflower and decor
Stand-Up Paddleboard + 2 Chairs + Blanket Donated by commercial club
Metal Trojan Yard Stakes
Baskets with Homemade Items and Goodies
And then we have something BRAND NEW this year…
TWO DESIGNATED FAMILY PARKING SPOTS!
We are auctioning off two parking spots for the entire year.
One will be a family's designated spot by the football field. Great for football games, track meets!
The other will be a family's designated spot by the Armory. Great for all Volleyball, basketball, wrestling, cheer .... and any other event when you need quick access to the armory!
That's right — your own spot for the entire year!!! With a sign holding that spot with your name on it!
No getting to the game super early. No driving around looking for a spot. No wondering where you're going to park. You pull in. Your spot is waiting for you.
I have a feeling these are going to be HOT items!
And this is only the beginning. More baskets are being put together, more homemade items are coming in, and there are still plenty of surprises to come.
So come out Friday night, grab a walking taco, get a coffee, enjoy the free games and caramel apples, let the kids hit the inflatables, and get ready to BID!
