MORE INFORMATION ON COLLEGES AND FINANCIAL AID ATHLETIC DEPARTMENT'S FRUIT SALE The past three years, the athletic department has been able to give over $10,000 of the proceeds of this sale back to the school for gym payments and new computers! That's after paying the expenses of a growing athletic department! Fantastic! GIFT WRAP FUND RAISER HAPPY BIRTHDAYS

Thanks to all the students (and parents) and the efforts of Cheryl Lesher and Keri Monroe, who coordinated this year's sale, our fruit sale was a tremendous success. We sold over $11,200 worth of fruit and country hams! And we profit about 50 percent of that!
This fund raiser also exceeded our expectations. Over $6,000 was sold; we profited about half that! Once again, thanks to all who made it a success!
Pre-school and kindergarten teacher, Mrs. Denna Bowles, and high school math teacher, Ms. Sandy Smith, will celebrate their birthdays on December 30. Our bookkeeper, Mrs. Pat Cornett, has her birthday on January 3. And fourth grade teacher, Mrs. Ruth Haering, will celebrate on January 7. Happy birthday everyone!
