ㅡ General Inf010/2-10/4 10/6 | New Seniors-Jostens will be here on Thursday during 5th hour to talk about caps and gowns and graduation. An all call will be made when we are ready for you to come down. Juniors and Seniors- If you go to CACC, you are expected to get on a bus when you arrive at Southeast in the morning. Do not wait until the last bus arrives. Buses leave once they are filled but many of you are choosing to come later and get on the last bus which causes it to reach capacity and be forced to leave people behind. Please help us out and get on a bus as soon as you get to school so that we can make sure everyone has a ride and reaches CACC in a timely manner. Reoccurring The Southeast Choir will be holding a Pizza Ranch fundraising event, TODAY (10/4). Students and families are invited to come out and have dinner at Pizza Ranch that evening, anytime from 4:30-close. A percentage of the evening's food sales will be donated to our choir. The choir students will be working the event; bussing tables, filling drinks and more! We’d love to see you there, and we thank you in advance for your continued support.
