Good morning Shells! Today is Friday, September 12, 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.
Congratulations to our volleyball team for a program sweep last night over Wood River. The Shells won at all three levels in two games each.
Homecoming Week begins on Monday and It’s time to start planning your outfits for next week. The spirit week themes are:
Monday - Dress As Your Favorite Color - wear your favorite color head to toe

Shoe recycling class competition: As of last night the Sophomores are winning the race with 15 pairs of shoes. Juniors are neck to neck with the senior and freshman haven’t left the starting line. The shoe recycling competition ends today. Good luck everyone!
NHS has started their Toiletries drive through September 30. Those sample size toiletries that are sitting unopened on your shelf? Donate them. Heading to the Dollar Store? Think about picking something up to donate. Anything will help not only our schools but also the Roxana community and you could also be helping your advisory class get a pizza party! The advisory class with the most donations will earn a pizza party on our next Connect Wednesday. Check the flyers around the school for a list of items.
