Senior parents!
I’ve talked to the photographer from DCM photography about team senior pictures with parents!

For $85, he will give each senior 3-4 individual poses, 2-3 senior group photos, and a senior team photo with parents included.
It will be taking place September 21st at 430pm at the high school.

I have Jayden & Jamari’s pictures scheduled this same day, but I need at least 5 seniors to do this group session!
Please comment and let me know if this is something you guys are interested in or want to do so I can let him know.
I think even the senior picture with parents would be such a great ending piece for their high school football career!
Thanks!💜💛

💜Good evening Giant family!💛

Sorry for the delay. This week, Thursday, August 28th, we will be doing breakfast for dinner!🍳🥞

We have purchased 100 sausage links, 80 sausage patties, and bacon through donations.

Item suggestions to be brought in are:
•Breakfast casseroles
•Sausage gravy and biscuits

•Pancakes and syrup
•Hashbrowns/hashbrown casserole

Usually with away games we would pack the boys sack lunches to eat on the way home. With the game only being at Mississinewa and a short drive home, we will NOT be packing away lunches this week.

Those that participated last week, you all did an amazing job! Let’s capitalize on that this week as well & keep the energy going!
