Just a reminder that picture retake day is Monday September 23rd.  This is for students who missed the first picture day or would like to have them retaken.  We will start at 8:30 am in the new gym. Even if your parents do not order a package, we would like you to have a picture taken for the yearbook and ids.


Homecoming t-shirts are available for purchase. You should go to the high schools main webpage to place your order.  The cost is $10 and due by Friday Sept 20. You can pay here at Holmes in the front office or at the bookkeepers window.  See Ms. Jensen with any questions.
