While many of us were still savoring our second to last week of summer by sleeping in, others were getting up at the crack of dawn to prepare their exhibits for show at the Mississippi Valley Fair. North Scott students exhibited projects in rabbits, cattle, poultry, sheep, dogs, and swine. Some Lancers showed projects at Keppy Hall like sewing, photography, woodworking, floral design and art. Great job to those who placed! These students definitely earned it; especially since some of these exhibits have taken a year to prepare.

So be sure to give those people a big congratulations when you see them!

Traditionally, North Scott’s back to school dance has been held after the Soap Scrimmage in the commons. It is a casual and fun event to kick off the new school year that allows students to spend time with classmates they hadn’t seen all summer. However, this year the details of the event will be a little different.

First, the location will be moved from the commons. A local DJ offered his services free to the school as a contribution to the hunger drive, and since he works from equipment set up on a truck, the dance will be held in the science (west) parking lot. The date has also been moved to Septemeber 10^th, after the home football game versus North. The dance benefits the Student Hunger Drive, so admission is 2 cans or $3.

Show up, have fun, and contribute to a great cause.
