"Pie the Teacher"

Today is the last day of spirit week. On Wednesday and Thursday raffles tickets were on sale to pie teachers in the pre-basketball game shows. All the proceeds from the raffle went to the American Red Cross to help Haitians in their time of need. This is a great picture of Mr. Windsor being pied by Principal Shultz. Overall everyone had a great time and the Spartans played some mean basketball. If they keep this up, they are bound to have an excellent end to their seasons.
Important Days:
Saturday- Solo Festival
Sunday- Super Bowl
Monday- Scholastic Bowl
Tuesday- Progress Reports
