Have you purchased your yard line for tonight’s game?   Choices are dwindling!!!!!  This is a great way to put some money in your pocket as well as helping the Juniors raise $$$$$$ for prom!!!!!   For $5, you get to choose a yard line and if the last play of the homecoming football game ends on YOUR yard line, you win half of the money. Contact your favorite junior or email susan.farrell-poncelet@k12.sd.us to purchase your yard line.  

The Junior class has teamed up with Mother Nature and cancelled the root beer floats for this evening!!!!
