The

All
Dragon fans are invited to come see the CMS/CJHS 7th
grade football game on Wednesday, September 19 at 5 p.m. in the new
Dragon Stadium. Instead of charging admission, the PALS (Peer
Assistance Leadership Skills) organizations from both schools will
be taking cash and check donations to the American Red Cross. The
press box side of the stadium will open at 4:30 p.m., as will the
Dragon’s Den shop and the concession stand.

Our
national leaders have resolved not to allow this event to change our
way of life or restrict our freedoms. We believe our decisions
reinforce that resolve.
