This year, our Panther family will be participating in a campus wide community service project on the last day of the semester. We have chosen to partner with Children's Hospital in providing one of their greatest needs, blankets for their patients. December 21st will be a half day for our students, and, that morning, our students and staff will make no-sew blankets to donate to this worthy cause.
Our goal as a campus is to make 300 blankets, but, in order to make this happen, we will need fleece...LOTS of fleece, 1200 yards to be exact, as it requires 4 yards of fleece to make one blanket. We have already had a very generous corporate donation to get us started, but much more will be needed. Only blizzard and anti-pill fleece can be used, and, if possible, please donate in increments of two yards. We would love to be able to show our Schim spirit by using our school colors in solids, plaids, and prints, but we are happy to accept any other colors donated.
Please click on the link to sign up for donations and to get more details about how we all can positively impact our community this holiday season. Thank you in advance for your generosity.

Please refer to the flyer below for a detailed list of items needed. Donations can be dropped off in boxes located in the front office between Friday, December 1st and Friday, December 15th.

Lunchapalooza is coming to Panther Country! This special block lunch event will take place on Thursday, December 21st. Beginning Wednesday, December 6th, students can bring $7.00 to the table in the cafeteria during their lunch time to pre-purchase their Lunchapalooza meal. For this amount, a student will receive 2 slices of cheese pizza, a bag of chips, and a soda or a bottle of water. Students are able to buy multiple meals if they would like more pizza. The presale window opens on Wednesday, December 6th, and runs through Friday, December 15th. Students will NOT be able to purchase a Lunchapalooza meal after this date. Sales are cash only. On the day of the event, the lunch line will still be open, and students can still bring their own lunches if they prefer.
If you have questions about Lunchapalooza, please contact Shelby Rose.
