A Note from Admin

Congratulations to our Claw of the Month winners for September--BLUE CLAW! Blue Claw earned 1,290 of the 7,165 tickets awarded to students in the month of September. We LOVED seeing that our students earned over 7,000 positive behavior tickets last month! We are looking forward to celebrating Blue Claw again on our next Claw Spirit Day Wednesday, October 14th.

We are also excited about celebrating the Panther Prowl Glow Day that students earned for reaching our goal of $65,000! THANK YOU for your support in making our Panther Prowl a HUGE success this year! Students can dress in their brightest neon colors on Wednesday.

Don't forget that Fall Break starts Thursday, October 8th. Students will return to school on Wednesday, October 14th.
