11/17 JH/HS Announcements:


From Coach Japhet: here is the link for basketball team gear. This is not a fundraiser so prices were taken down, however I just wanted to share in case you would like to buy basketball apparel. https://bsnteamsports.com/shop/cXgSzd1PEJ

The Junior Class had a great time designing their section of the Big A for the month of October. Every month at LAES and JH/HS the class with the highest percentage rate “wins” the Big A and gets to decorate a section.





🎯 Hope got a bullseye on 11th November and James Linenberger got one last night! . Great Archery groupings from both of them.!


Thank you to all the families who donated a toy for Christmas Angels at BINGO night 🥰.
