Cookie Dough, Pretzels, Popcorn, and Recycled Bags!
What do all these things have in common?
They are fundraisers that are being offered by our students and staff. With the holiday season fast approaching, these items all make great gifts and time savers! The Junior and Senior Classes are offering cookie dough, Janice Hidey has a Young Life fundraiser with recycled bags that are wonderful (I have one and they make great gifts!), there is a Boy Scout popcorn/pretzel fundraiser from one of our students, and don't forget the Granite Wear. All of these fundraisers have time constraints, so if your interested in any of them, the quicker you act the better. The Granite office is not handling any of the paperwork for these fundraisers, so if you have any questions, you will need to contact the sellers directly.
Happy Shopping!

With two Dinner Theater performances that include live music 1940’s style, and a Matinee performance, the Freedom Area Recreation Council is tackling an ambitious undertaking with its first theatrical production.

Peace Poster Contest Winners!
An email from our Art Tutor, Vivian Davis, came in last night shortly after the winners were announced. Here it is in it's entirety. Congratulations to everyone!
I met with the Columbia Lions Club officers tonight at Bertucci's and the 8 of them, along with 3 employees of Bertucci's, judged the posters for the local/school competition. I was not a judge and no information was given about the students prior to judging. We had 8 entries; judged for 1st, 2nd, 3rd place and Honorable Mention. All 4 along with their parents will be invited to a dinner in January to receive their awards.
All of the students did a wonderful job at representing the theme, "Vision of Peace". The officer/judges were all impressed again this year on how creative the designs were. In the end, the ones that were chosen as the winners 1. Best represented the theme (most important!) & 2. Were nicely illustrated. And the winners are:
1st Place (moving on to the District Level competition)
Lydia Vitek
2nd Place
Abby Parke
3rd Place
London Davis
Honorable Mention
Polly Matthews
Congratulations all on a wonderful showing!!!!!!!!!! I'm very proud of you ALL.
