Attention Students & Staff......Back to the battle of Blue verses Gold! At the end of March, we will begin the next battle for Spirit Wars and the Spirit Stick. We will highlight the SPCA with a towel collection. Teams should collect old or new towels to be donated to the SPCA. Due to the weather and high number of animals needing assistance over the last several weeks, the Kent County SPCA is appealing to the public for donations of towels and blankets. Teams with the most towels by Thursday 3/4 at the end of the day will win extra points to go towards spirit week. We will also have a dollar dash with proceeds going to American Red Cross for Haiti.
