Tonight is our Late Night event! You don't want to miss it! It's from 5pm - 9pm, it's FREE, and you will see performances from some of our winter sports teams - you can meet the players, enter raffles, and check out some awesome auction items! Don't forget to grab some concessions! Wrestling will start the evening; the staff vs seniors basketball game will be played right after. The boys basketball scrimmage and girls basketball scrimmage, with cheer and dance performances at the halftime of each, will follow. The band will be playing throughout the evening as well. Bring cash or card to enter raffles, buy apparel, eat at concessions (cash only), and pay for silent auction.
Drumline this morning for our Dance Team for qualifying for State Finals last Friday! They not only qualified but brought home a 3rd place trophy! Congrats, Chieftain Stars! #tongienation
