Students will be receiving a wristband TODAY to get off the bus and participate. Parents are invited to walk with us.

Good morning Ram Fam! Tomorrow, October 4th, is FALL COUNT DAY!
Please make sure your student is in attendance for the entire day. The number of students present on Count Day is how the state determines our district funding! (The higher the count, the more funding we receive.) We are celebrating the day with ice-cream sandwiches in the afternoon, and by allowing students to wear a hat during school hours. Every student counts!
Presale Tickets: Save yourself some time, and skip the ticket line!
Get your presale tickets for Friday's game from the G-ACS admin/business office (attached to the HS, facing 37th street).
8AM-4:30PM, Today-Thursday

1-2-3-4- WE DECLARE A PENNY WAR!
The Penny War will take place TODAY, 9/13/23, through 9/29/23, for K-12.
- Buckets will be available to deposit money into at the beginning of the day and end of the day near the school office
- Pennies in your bucket = positive points
- Each silver coin counts as negative points for OTHER grades. In other words, dropping a quarter in another grade’s bucket takes 25 points from their total. Dollar bills are big points.
- We will announce scores at the end of each week: 9/15 & 9/22
- The grade with the most positive points (money) on 9/29 wins!
- Proceeds will go towards a surprise at the Home of the Ram Stadium Grand Opening on October 6th.
