Principal Madelyn Ball announced after-school April 4 and again on April 9, that students would receive a dress down week if $500,000 is raised for the construction of the turf field by the end of the week of April 11.

After school on April 9, a total of $457,000 had been raised for the turf field. The total was reached by the end of the day on April 11, and Ball came on the announcements after school to notify the students.

The dress down week, which totals four days, is intended to provide an incentive for students to get their parents to contribute money to the school’s campaign for money for the turf fields. The dress down week would take place after spring break from April 22 through April 25.
