Sports teams at Walla Walla
Our Volleyball and Soccer teams are playing at the Friendship tournament at Walla Walla University this weekend. At press time, our girls have made the top twelve tournament (out of 20 teams). Our boys also go into the second round in the top twelve (out of fifteen teams). If you are thinking you might like to go up to watch a game or two, check the school’s webpage (click on the Athletics tab). We will update throughout the day as information becomes available.
ABC Sale & Supper
This Saturday evening at the ABC book sale, the biology class will be serving Chili Dogs and Fries as a fundraiser for their spring trip. That means that you can come out and shop the ABC sales on food and books, and pick up supper at the same time; it also means that since you do not have to make supper at home, clean-up, or any of that normal activity at the end of the Sabbath will not need to happen, freeing you up to enjoy the close of the day. Good Deal all around, don’t’cha think?
ASB Spirit Week... October 10 - 13.
Each year our students look forward to the annual ASB School Spirit Week festivities. This year, the ASB has planned several interesting activities for us. Please remember that even though we are dressing up, we are still aiming at modesty. On dress-up days, even though Halloween is looming, we ask students to avoid subjects of an occultist nature as well as anything otherwise inappropriate.
Monday - Comfy Clothes
Baggy Sweats, T-shirts, etc… avoid sleepwear, loungewear or swimwear, etc.
Tuesday - Crazy Hat and/or Crazy Hair
We are combining crazy hair and crazy hat to give students more options, especially those whose hair follicles have begun to give up the ghost (We’re thinking of you Mr. O). Some students may elect to do both – and that’s okay.
Wednesday – Team Sports
Wear the Jersey or colors of a favorite team… If you are on a team, wear that jersey… Again, you have choices.
Thursday - Class Colors
On Monday October 10, each class will have voted one solid color for their class to wear on this day (the ASB exec reminds classes to choose wisely). Support your class by participating!

Wilderness Ventures Canoeing / Kayaking Trip

PSAT Change…

Mr. O’s Puzzler
Last Week’s Answer – Jimmy Carter. The winner of the prize was Austin Parker.
This Week’s Puzzle – In most Westernized countries, you will never find this in a hotel.
This is just to remind you that the school will be closed on Friday, the 14th
