Socktober is almost here! 🧦
This October, help us spread warmth by donating brand new socks for those in need in our community. Over the past 11 years, we’ve collected more than 24,000 pairs for the Marion Homeless Shelter, which serves six counties including Crawford County. Let’s see how many pairs we can gather this year—together we can make a difference! 💙Each WEDNESDAY in October (1st, 8th, 15th, 22nd, & 29th) students can bring in socks to participate in fun days.

This morning, we were honored to hear our very own Cadet Mackinsey McMillen speak on 9/11. We also stopped by Mr. Altman’s history class, where students received a powerful lesson on that tragic day.
'Together, we remember 9/11—honoring the past, and carrying its lessons forward. Today and always, we honor the lives lost, the heroes who served, and the resilience of our nation.**
