The first dance is Thursday, October 17. 8th grade parents are in charge of the concession and they are requesting that 8th grade students bring a 12 pack of soda, Little Debbie snack cakes, or small bags of chips to school tomorrow to donate for the concession. If you are unable to do that on short notice, you may also send monetary donations to help order pizzas. All proceeds from the concession go to the 8th grade graduation party hosted by the 8th grade parents.
