Next week is Red Ribbon Week, and we look forward to celebrating district-wide! Please join the CHASE club by dressing up for Red Ribbon Week!


We would like to thank Ronnie Ritter from Arkansas Hunter's Feeding the Hungry, Kimberly Jones, and the board at Twin Lakes Community Foundation for a grant that has made the wild game snack stick program possible for the last two years. The kids always look forward to these snack sticks!


Remember that this week's Junior High Football games have been moved to Monday! We're also hosting the Regional Volleyball Tournament this week; the Lady Cougars will play their first game on Tuesday at 3:00. It will be a BLACK OUT theme, and we need all of Cougar Nation to be there!
Good luck this week to all of our Cougar athletes!
