Happy first Friday of February! We are happy to see our Tigers showing kindness to others this week.

Good Morning TigerNation! Thank you for your patience yesterday as we were "off the grid" for a bit, however, we are up and running as normal today! In addition, the Elementary doors have been repaired and you can now begin checking those students out and entering the Elementary main doors again as usual. Thank you for being flexible as we addressed this security issue and made the necessary repairs to properly resolve the problem. We have several things to remind you of for the remainder of the week: -This afternoon, our JH Basketball teams will travel to Joaquin to play the Rams beginning at 5:30pm. -Also, this evening, please remember that Mrs. Barr will be hosting FASFA Night for our graduating seniors and their families. It will be at 6pm this evening in the cafetorium. All seniors and parents/guardians are encouraged to attend. Completing the FAFSA is a graduation requirement. Helpful tips to prepare for this evening's meeting: 1. Parents and students each need to create an FSA ID. Doing so before FAFSA Night will help in the process. 2. You will need your tax information from 2022. - Tomorrow, the Lady Tigers will play their final regular season game here at home in the SEC; this will be Lady Tiger Senior Night for our Class of 2024. IMPORTANT: We have made some adjustments to the schedule posted last week for the night's events. The girls game will tip at 6pm as normal; at half-time, our Mini Camp Cheerleaders will be performing. At the conclusion of the girl's game, we will retire Jersey #14 of Shanna McCollister Dagley with a brief ceremony on the court.

Tiger Cafe will be open; so, please make plans to come out and support these student athletes! -Finally, yearbooks for the 2023-2024 school year are on sale now for pre-order.
