1. On Wednesday we will be having our annual Veterans Day assembly. During the assembly, we will be raising money for a very special cause called Honor Flight during a Miracle Minute. Please plan to bring change and small bills to donate during the event!  Thank you!

2. Our Girls Varsity Team played White River on Saturday in the First round of the District Tournament.  Nora Sutherland scored off a cross from Maya Rogers.  White River came back and scored three goals.  With 20 minutes to go Maya Rogers delivered two corner kicks to perfection and Nora scored two more goals from headers.  The game went into double overtime and was decided on Penalties.  White River missed the first two penalty kicks and our girls were perfect from the penalty spot.  Ada Labowitz opened up the score, Alex Cichanski, Hailey Shride followed with goals and Maya Kiki Kalahiki scored the winning goal.   We'll face Bellarmine at 7PM at Mount Tahoma High School  this Tuesday night.  Come out and support our Girls Soccer Team.
