In tonight's attendance at Varsity Volleyball-the Freshmen were the winners with the sophomores following closely behind.  Next were the Seniors with the juniors in fourth!  Great effort was given by our Spartan ladies and our amazing student section was very impressive great job to all in attendance!!

In the standings for the Red Apple:

The Freshmen and Sophomores are tied for first place with 12 points each---the seniors are very very close behind with 11.5 points and the juniors are trailing in fourth. 

Get ready for this to be serious as we have class t shirt count and design on Friday, Soccer attendance on Friday and dress up days all next week!!  Will this be the year the freshmen pull off the miracle?  Will the mighty sophomores dominate?  Will the Seniors fulfill their destiny or will the juniors come from behind for the upset??  Only one more week make it great Spartans!!

And we are off...

...court has been chosen and the games have begun.  Most classes have already gotten started with their floats and mock rocks please try to participate or encourage your student, it is a great way to get involved with your class.  We have also already started taking points for the activities including attendance at the JV volleyball tournament last Saturday, the  Cross Country Jamboree on Wednesday and the JV football game on Thursday.  At this moment the Seniors are in the lead by one half of a point over the sophomores with the freshmen closing in.  Next week points will be taken at the Varsity Volleyball game on the 30th, at the Varsity Soccer match on the 3rd and in the t-shirt contest (class t shirts on Friday the 3rd).  Classes should also be bringing in food for the food drive and change for the penny a point contest.  Let's go Spartans!!
