HOLY MUMS!
Thanks to everyone who bought mums to support the HS student council. The student council sold 410 mums! We do have a few extras and will be selling them tonight at the volleyball game. They are $15.00 each.
A HUGE thank you to Kull Scape Outdoor Living in East Peoria for delivering them to the school this year!

For those of you coming to the Fisher vs. Ridgeview/Lexington Football game tonight, please be aware that Chatham Street is CLOSED between Cherry Street & Elm Street. The intersection at Elm & Chatham (normal park entrance) WILL BE OPEN to access the football field from Elm Street.
Please see the map for other possible entrances / parking areas for the game tonight.
- Head North on Cherry Street
