JR High Trojans home opener against Wayne City.
We may be rivalries on the court, but the Wayne City and Bluford communities came together last night to support Wheeler's family. Thank you to both the Wayne City and Bluford communities for your generosity. Last night's success would not be possible without you!
Just a reminder: Tomorrow night in the school's cafeteria, there will be a $5 hot dog meal to benefit Wheeler's family. There will also homemade cakes that will be auctioned off. Come out and support Wheeler's family and the boys GS basketball team at their first home game.
Thank you to the Mt. Vernon Cardiology/Cardiac Rehab Staff at SSM Good Sam for donating school supplies. We greatly appreciate your thoughtfulness and generosity.
