 On Wednesday, November 26, we will be having our annual turkey bowling contest in the high school cafeteria at your scheduled lunch time.  This contest will consist of a frozen turkey being slid down a tarp at bowling pins.  This year we will randomly select 2 or 3 students from each class to bowl.  If you get a strike, your entire class is winners!  We will be giving prizes away such as free ice cream cones, a tray full of cookies, gift cards from CJ’s, and the opportunity for your class to pick “what’s for lunch” one day. Good luck and Happy Thanksgiving!
