Good morning Shells! Today is Tuesday, August 26, 2025.
Please stand for the Pledge of Allegiance followed by a moment of silence.
I pledge allegiance to the flag of the United States of America,
and to the Republic for which it stands, one Nation under God, indivisible, with liberty and justice for all.
Don’t forget to see Ms. Hanneken about the Framed Photo Contest which ends tomorrow, Wednesday, August 27. Participants need to take pictures of animals and plants in the garden behind the science building. 3 winners will be awarded $25.00 VISA gift cards.
Roxana High School, are you ready for your first Homecoming class competition—and to help the environment?
Here’s what you need to do: bring in your old, unwanted sneakers for recycling! The class that collects the most sneakers will sneak their way into first place before the Homecoming Pep Rally even begins.
Bins for shoe collection are located outside Ms. Hanneken’s room.
Good luck, everyone, and thank you for doing your part to help save our planet!
