SjB ' X ince we were a newer school, sharing the community with the more established schools in the area was not an easy job. Money was tight and small businesses In the area were watching their pennies. In the end, they didn ' t let us down. From selling school jackets, shirts and other Pirate items to hanging posters in the windows of their businesses, the community came through in showing their support. We showed our support for them in return by getting our hair cut, eating pizza, buying our mums, and taking our pet to the vet. It was a good trade. Time went by and the older businesses along with the newer ones couldn ' t deny that we were here to stay. ' us-i :• : ' HERE TO STAY are Kristy Arnold, Shannon Sage, Eric Layer, Justin Johnson, Jesse Alba, Jason Farmer, Richard Thomas, Tommy Ray, Bobby Spradling, Mike Avino, David Mclnturtf, and Scott Rosenberry.
