The basketball season isn't over yet!!! The boys' basketball team takes on the Bishop Ryan Lions on Monday, March 9th, in the opening round of the Region 3 Basketball Tournament in New Town at approximately 4:30.

There will be a pep bus for APS students in grades 6-12. Students MUST sign up in the office by 11:00 AM on Monday morning. The bus will leave at 2:45 and return shortly after the game is over. Students are responsible for admission and snacks at the tournament.

Attention Comet Parents!
Early Release – Monday, March 9
Due to the number of staff and students attending the regional basketball game, school will be dismissed early at 2:45 PM on Monday, March 9.
Please note that buses will run at 2:45 PM to take students home.
If this early dismissal will cause an inconvenience for your family, please contact the school office.
Thank you for your understanding and support as we cheer on our Comets during this exciting opportunity!

Tuesday's OTWV question will be:

Should the United States eliminated Daylight Savings Time?

If you have signed your student up to attend HI-5 on Friday and they will need the bus to or from, you MUST contact the office no later than Wednesday.

If you would like to have a team in the Alexander High School Student Council Golf Scramble, please contact Amber Severson. Student teams are also looking for business sponsors. If you are willing to sponsor a team or donate door prizes it would help reach our fundraising goal to purchase a school mascot.

Thanks!
