Junior High is celebrating the end of the nine weeks by playing some blind volleyball!
Tonight's football contest at Syracuse is set for 7pm CST. Their community is hosting a food drive and offering a meal in exchange for a cash or canned food donation (see image) if you are interested.
Ellis Junior High Students with 1 or less absences went to Hays for Attendance Reward Lunch. Two lucky students received ten dollars to spend when their names were drawn, Hannah James and Talon Pyle. It was a good time and the food was Yummy!!
