Welcome Patriots!
By: Gabi Ledbetter
Welcome Patriots to the 2023-2024 school year! The summer months have come to an end and the crisp season of fall is upon us. With its early morning alarm clocks and hours of schoolwork and studying, the back to school season is underway. Students have had to adjust to balancing school, work, and extracurricular activities. The beginning of this school year included many fun events such as the Football Fan Fest, the Spaghetti Dinner, Homecoming Week, and College Fair. If you haven't already, now is the time to get involved. Join a school club. Attend an upcoming event. There are many opportunities where you can show your Patriot Pride and make memories to last a lifetime. Let’s have another great school year Patriots!
