Student Announcements:

Are you feeling the lull because life seems dull? Fall Festival is over and so is the World Series. <Sigh> Since it's not yet time to go out haunting, how about coming to our Actor's Showcase tonight at 6:00 pm for some knee-slappin fun and hilarity?! TSAS's acting class is presenting "Luann" from the comic strip about the teens at Pitts High facing the trials and tribulations of life in high school. It's in the drama room and it's FREE so bring your popcorn (or not) and enjoy the show!

The Seniors will be selling candy in the Main Lobby today and tomorrow after school. Satisfy your early Halloween cravings with a sweet treat!

If you're interested in learning how to knit or crochet, join the knitting club after school today in Stallings's room. All students are welcome! Bring supplies if you have them, or borrow ours.

Speech Team members will meet tomorrow after school in Mrs. Hughes's room from 3-4:15 for a run through of all of our pieces.

The major hostilities of World War 1 formally ended on the 11th hour of the 11th day of the 11th month of 1918, when the Armistice with Germany took effect.
