HoCo Cook-out will be Wednesday, September 25th. Lunch will be a sack lunch at the football stadium. If you would like to bring a blanket to sit on with your friends that is wonderful! All grades will be outside eating and hanging out from 11:35-12:35pm. Freshman and Sophomores will go through the line first followed by Juniors and Seniors. While you are not eating, you can choose to play outdoor games near the end zone, walk the track with your friends, or sit and relax . Our rain plan is a picnic style lunch inside.
