ELEMENTARY CHRISTMAS CONCERT – FRIDAY, DECEMBER 11, 7 p.m.

Our music students and teachers have been preparing for months for tonight’s performance and you won’t want to miss it!  We’re expecting a full house, so plan to arrive early for seating.  Also, there will be a brief PTF meeting at 6:30 before the concert begins.

A BENCH FOR CAPS UPDATE

Mrs. Pitney is loading up plastic lids to take to Indiana over Christmas break.  Please bring in all the lids you’ve saved up by December 11 in order to give her plenty of time to weigh them.  Also, please remember that the lids must be COMPLETELY PLASTIC.  The lids cannot contain any metal because it will destroy the company’s equipment.  Lids from Ensure contain metal, so please do not send these lids.  Thank you!

HIGH SCHOOL DRESS CODE CLARIFICATION

While we are implementing a relaxed (warm) dress code for students who have classes in the Anderson Building, we want to remind students not to wear clothes that are tight-fitting. Leggings may be worn under school uniform pants, under skirts that are the appropriate length, or under sweatpants, but leggings should not be worn to school as pants.

ALL-STAR FOOTBALL GAME: DECEMBER 11

The Toyota East vs. West All-Star game is this Friday, December 11 at Tennessee Tech at 7:00 p.m., CST. Admission is $5 per person.  We’d love to see a lot of people there to support TKA Senior Isaiah Gilmore!
