Orange Day – Tutoring today!
Great job Lady Blackhawks and committee on another wonderful Dig Pink event.  We appreciate all the time and talent you put forth!

Thanks to everyone who helped with the "Dig Pink" night. It was a fun night and a big success. The night would not have been possible without all the outside efforts from such great people. Thanks again SCW Volleyball Team & Robin Moody

Reminder to FFA members not in ag class this semester:  Don't forget there are activity requirements during the fall that you must take part in to participate in Spring CDEs and State Convention.  If a student, who was not  an FFA member during the 2012-2013 school year, is interesting in joining or rejoining FFA and is not enrolled in an ag class this semester they need to come visit with Mr. Gross by the end of October.

If your parents were unable to attend Parent/Teacher Conferences they may contact the teacher either by e-mail, phone, or set up another conferencing time by Wednesday, October 23 allowing you to receive your bonus points.

Friday ends the first 9 weeks of the 2013-2014 school year.  Students need to make sure that all assignments are turned in.  Report cards will be sent home with students on Thursday, October 31st.
