The CJ Fish Fry is this weekend with plenty of fish, fun, and fanfare to be had by all - parents, alumni and friends alike! This community event is sponsored by the Blue Green Club and supported by numerous volunteers. Proceeds are used to support extra-curricular activities for students involved in the school's athletics and performing arts programs. Hosting concession stands, feed the team, and senior farewell posters are just a few examples of the little things that make a big impact for our students.
So come out Saturday, meet other parents, and enjoy this fun-filled evening which runs from 6 - 11 p.m. Tickets will be available for $12 in the athletic office through Friday at 5 p.m. Tickets will also be available at the door for $15.
See you there, and Go Eagles!
