Hair-Raising Halloween Dance Thrills All 🙀 🎃

Due to a rescheduled high school football game, the STUCO Halloween Dance was held a week later than planned. So, last Thursday, we partied hard and danced the night away! The Amendment DJ'd and kept us up dancing and doing other fun things like the limbo. Also, spooky snacks and drinks were served by some magical moms!

Food Drive Update 🍲 🍴

Please remember to bring non-perishable food items or money for the food pantry until November 20. As of this morning, our building only had 1,451 pounds. If we bring at least 6,000 pounds as a district, we will have December 21--which is currently a half-day--off from school. $1=5 pounds. Please support the cause! We need more food!Mayor Hewitt Enlightens Seventh Graders

Mr. Hindman invited Phillipsburg Mayor Pat Hewitt to speak to the 7th graders on Tuesday about his mayoral duties. Jacie Roth said, "I liked that he explained his job really well and answered all of the questions we asked." The experience will help them write their "If I Were Mayor" essays.

Thoughts on Veterans Day

There are 19.3 million military veterans in the United States.

"On this Veterans Day, let us remember the service of our veterans, and let us renew our national promise to fulfill our sacred obligations to our veterans and their families who have sacrificed so much so that we can live free." – Dan Lipinski

"Honor to the soldier and sailor everywhere, who bravely bears his country's cause. Honor, also, to the citizen who cares for his brother in the field and serves, as he best can, the same cause." - Abraham Lincoln
