Here We Go Again Oh my gosh! It ' s August 24th already. Back to Mr. Omundson and Mr. Deaderick, essays and exams, Saturday School, the Fall Fest and football games.

Should we drop A. P. Biology?? We now have so many decisions. Summer was so much easier, but summer is gone and school is here for good. 7th graders Jason De Weese and Eric Dalle, lost in the lower school, look for their first period class on the first day. 26 Student Life Working diligently to prepare the stage, Mr. Saunders spent many days during the summer preparing for the upcoming fall plays.
