Spaghetti, Charlie Brown, and the Lakeland Conference All-Academic Team









We have so much happening every week, it's hard to get it all on the Blog! On Friday, April 24th the sophomore class had a spaghetti dinner and auction fund-raiser that earned them some $700+ to put towards prom. It was a great success and tasted good too!
After that, we got to see "You're a Good Man Charlie Brown," and it was a lot of fun. The Peanuts Gang was all there and the audience laughed at their one-liners, thought about their insights and hummed to the music. I really enjoyed the play, and it seemed the rest of the audience did too.
Finally, on Thursday, April 30th we honored the Lakeland Conference All-Academic Team at the Ed Lowe Foundation. These were the top-twenty students in the conference, receiving the best scores on the ACT of all the students in 8 schools. Congratulations to all the winners, but especially to ours!
