Top 5 for King and Queen

MS Student Council is excited to participate in the Homecoming fun. Tuesday - Thursday this week, MS StuCo will be hiding Bentley Bobcat, our female kitty around the school. Check our Student Council Instagram account to find out what Bentley looks like or check photos around the school. She will start her hiding on Tuesday and when you find Bentley, bring her to Mrs. Donald's office in order to receive your Homecoming prize.

Homecoming Buttons: Art Club has once again created some excellent Homecoming button designs and will be selling them throughout the week. Show your Bobcat spirit as well as support for your favorite activities. Buttons will be sold during Lunch in the Student Center. Cost is $1.

HS Student Council has an important announcement about the 2021 Homecoming Royalty Ballot. Due to a clerical error, we need to have a revote on the Homecoming Queen Top Ten. Yesterday's ballot for the Queen is not valid. ONLY today's ballot will be counted to determine our top ten females. Voting is open from 8:15-1:00 pm. Top Ten Queen Candidates will be announced at the end of Block 4 and our photo will still take place at the flag pole entrance. Sorry for the inconvenience. Our Top Ten Homecoming King Candidates have been finalized. Our Top Ten King Candidates are: Caiden Becker, Jacob Brecht, Colin Buch, Isaac Cretin, Dawson Franck, Casey Gallagher, Aiden Harris, Ryan Tjelmeland, Aidan Thompson, and Lawrence Wallace.
