The Race for the Red Apple is On!

Yesterday the sophomores led the dress up day competition with 56% followed closely by the freshmen with 55%.  Juniors are in the overall lead right now with 21 points, followed by the freshmen, then the seniors and the sophomores are in 4th but this week we have our food drive, penny a point (all proceeds of which are donated to classes and the Angel Tree Program), and Floats so it is still anyone's apple to win.  We hope you can join us for the parade this Friday at 5 pm.  See previous posts for parade route on the community Facebook page.

Halftime Show UPDATE- court will not be announced at halftime

As with all customs, sometimes there is a need for change and this year we will not be announcing our king and queen or Red Apple Award at half time in order to allow the band an opportunity to perform their full half time program.  The announcement of the king and queen as well as the winning class will be announced at the conclusion of the game.  We hope that you will join us at the conclusion of the game for our ceremony as well as at half time for our band's performance.  Please note this is a change from previously reported times.
