SENIOR PARKING SPACE DESIGN COMPETITION
You may notice that in recent days, some of our seniors have started to paint spaces in the Student Parking Lot as part of a friendly Senior Class competition. Participating seniors were asked to submit an artistic design to Assistant Principal Benzing for approval. Upon approval, the students are being given several designated hours after school to paint their individual spaces. Faculty representatives will judge the completed projects to determine first, second and third place winners who will receive gift cards to the school Spirit Shop.
Parents are invited to check out the artwork!
SPIRIT WEEK
