This past week as some of you may be aware, Eldorado High School sadly lost one of their own students. Noah Tackett, who was a freshman was killed along with his parents as a result of a tragic car accident. As this time, we are asking that as a Wildcat family we rally around this family to assist in expenses. On Friday, September 1, 2023 we are having “Hats for the Tackett family”. We are asking that if you wish to wear a hat for school (must be school appropriate) that you donate $1.00. (Obviously you are free to donate more if you feel led too). All donations will be given to the family for upcoming expenses.
The Cheer Clinic Forms sent home last week contain a mistake that needs to be corrected. The Clinic is TUESDAY, September 19 and WEDNESDAY, September 20. Sorry for the confusion.
Congratulations to our Star Readers who received new dog tags this week!
