Great news!!! We will be sending a rooter bus to Baker for Thursday's game. JH/HS students are invited to attend. A generous donation was made and the tickets to get into the game have been paid for. The students who wish to attend will be coming home with a permission slip. This permission slip must be turned into the office by Thursday morning. The bus will leave at 6:00pm and not return until around midnight. Your student will still need to bring money for food/beverages during and after the game.
We will be holding a benefit dinner for Mrs. Bench, a long time employee of the Echo School District. She was recently diagnosed with stage four Kidney Cancer and has a tough battle ahead. Please view the flyer for all the details.
