A receipt will be mailed to you. If you choose to include your e-mail address you will be notified of activities, fundraisers and accomplishments.

A scholarship application was approved. It will be available to students at the counselor’s office andthe Agricultural Department. Applications are to be filled out and returned by March 31. A scholarship committee was appointed to select recipients of the scholarship.
