PANTHER PRIDE FOCAL POINT

Welcome to the last FULL WEEK of the YEAR! During this week we will be having lots of opportunities to earn your name in the 12/21 prize raffle.  While we will have some fun ways to earn those tickets, you will also earn them by showing those Panther PRIDE qualities we have preached all semester, especially being here and being on time!  As we stated last week in advisory, you will earn tickets for being present and on time all this week!
