The event will take place in the District Three South Stadium from 11:00-3:00 on Saturday, Sept. 22. Families can tailgate from 11:00-1:00 and then enjoy the NHS vs. RHH alumni flag football game at 1:00. Vendors, including many schools, will be selling pizza, cotton candy, hotdogs, hamburgers, nachos, popcorn, ice cream, roasted/boiled peanuts, snow cones, freeze pops, Italian ice, drinks, BBQ, fried fish, and chicken plates. Face painting, games, and crafts will be available, as well as spirit dolls and a dunking booth provided by Rock Hill High. Everyone will also want to purchase an alumni game T-shirt. A $2 donation will be requested for the funding of the district's new "Power of Mentoring" program, but no one will be turned away!

Alliance for Arts Education for making the arts an integral part of the education of students. On Sept. 17, Ms. Crute received a call from the John F.

<Finley Road recently had a visit from the Charlotte Bobcats, including coaches, players, and Rufus the Mascot. The guys not only met with students in a school-wide assembly to talk about their love for reading, but they painted a corner in the school library in their team colors and included Bobcat memorabilia.
