Sod Goes In
A handful of volunteers showed up to help at the school yesterday, and together with our students who each had several class periods taken to help with the project, we laid in about 42,000 square feet of the projected 58,000 that we have to put down. Today we dropped in another 10,000 feet, but there is still a bit to do. If you have the time either this afternoon or Friday, we could use some help to complete this project. Our goal has been to get the sod in place in time to take advantage of the last of our irrigation season so that coupled with the expected winter rains we will have nice grass, come spring.
Biology Class Benefit Supper
The biology class would like to thank those who came out and supported the supper fundraiser that they held as an add-on to the ABC book sale. They were able to put away about $450 towards their year-end biology trip to Rosario and area. They are still looking for other ideas to help raise funds, so if you know of any winners, please contact Mr. Laubach.
HS PE Class Goes Golfing
The 9th and 10th grades PE class will be going to Pasco Golfland this coming Monday afternoon to take in a round of golf. We are looking for parents who might be available to golf the round with us. We plan to start around 1:00pm. Students should be ready for pickup after 3:15 at the golf course.
Sports Update
The volleyball and football games that were postponed from last weekend at TCJA (with Palisades) will take place this Sunday. Volleyball will be at noon, and football will follow right after (approximately 1:00). Meanwhile, half of our football team will be travelling up to Canada where they will be playing in the annual BC Junior Flag Football youth Rally and tournament. Sounds like a big weekend for everyone.
Red Ribbon Week
This coming week is Red Ribbon Week. We will have special presenters and activities going on all week long. Three days – Monday, Wednesday, and Friday – we will have special presentations at 8:30 each morning, so you won’t want to be late for any of those activities.
Congrats Volleyball and Soccer
Our girls placed 9th (out of 20 teams) and the boys placed 12th (out of 15) at the Walla Walla University Friendship tournament. Much improved from last year’s last in each.

Last Week’s Answer – a 13th floor. No one turned in the answer.
This Week’s Puzzle – this letter indicates that the website you are on probably meets stringent codes that make them less likely to be hacked.
