Orange Day
Good Luck to the football team on their road trip to Hitchcock tonight. The bus will meet in Woonsocket at 4:15. Blackhawk Pride! Mr. Gross has informed us that there is a bridge out on SD Hwy 38 on the way to Hitchcock. You will not be able to reach Hitchcock from 37 traveling via 28. You must either go up 281 through Wolsey or to reduce backtracking, follow one of the alternative routes I’ve out lined.
