Yesterday after morning workouts, our amazing football players stepped off the field and into the community to make a difference! They volunteered their time and energy to help distribute food boxes for the Golden Harvest Family Food Box program.
With their help, over 100 needy families received nutritious food to support them during these challenging times. It's heartwarming to see our athletes giving back and showing that teamwork extends beyond the game. Thank you to our players for their dedication both on and off the field. You make us proud every day!
Also, HUGE thank you to our other volunteers The Townsends and Mrs. Megan Seawright for coming out to help us! We appreciate ALL our volunteers!!!
And a big shoutout to the Golden Harvest Family Food Box program for their incredible work in fighting hunger and supporting families in our community. Together, we can make a real impact!
Don't forget to request DDS and ADAP forms for driver's license. The cost of the forms is $2.00, in addition to any fees.
Congratulations to the hard-working, talented, and spirited Class of 2024!
Due to inclement weather, the graduation ceremony will now begin at 8:30. We ask that guests prepare accordingly.
