Principal’s Report: A successful start to the school year. More Freshman have been added. State still does not have a budget. Friday, October 16th there will be a Community Open House. Previously discussed craft fair has been cancelled. Mr. Hogan would like to know if the PFO can or will continue the Student of the Month Program.  All felt that September would not be a problem, thou in the future, it may have to be re-evaluated.
