The cheerleaders will be selling tattoos again tomorrow, Friday 9/8/23, at GBE. Additionally, they will have a limited number of glow sticks available for purchase. These glow sticks come in two sizes. The smaller ones are available for just one dollar, while the larger foam glow sticks can be purchased for four dollars each. It's important to note that the glow sticks are first-come, first-serve, so if you're interested in purchasing one or more, arriving early is a good idea. Not only will you be supporting the cheerleading team, but you'll also be able to enjoy the fun and excitement at tomorrow's all-school pep rally at 2:45 PM at the junior high.

Lynx and Lynxette Athletics. Please help us raise money for our fundraiser by clicking the link below. Thank you! https://app.raise-365.com/digital/386590/7549?session=18600685
The Spearman Lynx and Lynxettes have started a donation fundraising drive today. This will serve as the fundraiser for both boys and girls athletics this year. This is a conscious effort to not over saturate the community and kids with different fundraisers for each individual group and sports. The money raised will be split equally between boys and girls to address immediate needs within the two groups. People who choose to donate will receive a receipt. The kids are competing so the individual kid you respond to will receive the points toward a free backpack, hoody or both. Thank you for the support of our athletic departments.
