🐾 Wildcat Weekend: The Time Jump!
Heads up, Wildcats! It’s time to Spring Forward. This Sunday, we lose an hour of sleep but gain that sweet evening sunlight for sports, practice, and hanging out.
Middle school life is busy enough—don't let the "time jump" catch you off guard:
The Saturday Shift: Move your clocks ahead one hour before you hit the pillows on Saturday night.
Wildcat Energy: Use that extra daylight to get outside, but remember: the sun stays up later, but your bedtime shouldn't!
Don't be the Wildcat walking into class on Monday looking sleepy. Adjust those clocks and let’s finish the quarter strong!
Students can join us Friday, March 27th, from 3:00–4:30 PM for the Student Council Spring Dance!
✨ Tickets: $2
🍿 Snacks/Drinks: $1 each
🚗 Reminder: Parent pick-up required at 4:30 PM.
Don't miss out! 🎶💃
