The SPARC student leaders will be doing a fun event at today's homecoming game and we want to invite everyone to come to the game.  The first 100 students that stop at the SPARC tent at the homecoming game and write down their reason for making healthy choices such as choosing not to vape or use other drugs, will be given a tennis ball with a number on it. At half time, all 100 students with a tennis ball will get to throw their tennis ball onto the field. The student's tennis ball that comes the closest to the SPARK on the SPARC logo will win a pair of air pods.  


The energy was in the house at last night's swim and dive meet against Tartan.  It was a dance party on deck and the excitement continued in the water.  Even though the Spartans lost to the Titans, the swimmers and divers achieved 24 Personal Best Times and 11 Seasonal Best Times.
