Well the BIG day has finally arrived. It's time for the 4th Annual FCA Krud War. All FCA members will be meeting at NEWK'S main lodge at 3:30 and will march bravely to the traditional KrudWar field. The question on everyone's lips is who will win? Will it be the 7th grade or the 8th grade? Only those with courage enough to attend will ever know for sure. It is rumored that our own Mr. De La Garza has challenged both grades in this yearly contest. I'm not sure, but I don't think this activity has any similarities to a football game. Remember FCA members, you need to wear your best Krud War clothes and bring your best Krud War towel. We will be through at 4:30. Your parents can pick you up at the main lodge.

This announcement is for any 7th or 8th grade girl interested in learning some drillteam skills with the NBHS Monocera drillteam in early June. Coach Winki has flyers explaining about this drill clinic that will be held at the high school. There are also flyers in the NBMS office.
