Today is a HUGE day for the Tiger Football team.  Tonight, the Tigers are taking on the Seneca Valley Raiders in the WPIAL semi finals.  If the boys win tonight, they will punch their ticket to play at Heinz Field in the WPIAL championship.  They need the support of the entire student body tonight to cheer them on to victory. Here is a message from Coach Walker: “I challenge our student section to dominate the stands because we feed off of their energy.  We need them to help up reach our goal. Biggest game = biggest turnout! There is strength in numbers! Be there and be loud, proud, and rowdy!” Let’s rise to the challenge tonight, and just like Coach Walker said, BE THERE tonight at Newman Stadium.  The tailgate starts at 6:00 pm, and kickoff is at 7:30 pm. The theme is Sports Jerseys, and be sure to bring your Terrible Towels! This is the final home game of the season! Don’t miss it. Tigers Are Hungry!!

Bracelet sales and letter writing will be set up during all lunch periods this week. Contact Abby Adelman if you have any questions.

Attention all Nash!  Our annual Canned Food Drive this year is from November 12-16! Every 50⊄ equals one can, and daily awards will be given.  Each student who brings in 20 cans or more will be entered into a raffle for an award, including a free pass to an athletic event or stage performance or MORP. The homeroom with the most cans at the weeks end will receive a donut breakfast. Only 20 cans = one raffle ticket entry.

This year our goal is 10,000 cans and all proceeds will be going to the North Hills Food Bank. We CAN do this NASH!!!!
