Hoco Reminders:
If you would like to attend the HOCO parade today , it starts at 9:30, and you are welcome to watch from Griffin Stadium. Guests are not allowed to mix in with our Student Body.

Floats of NDUE student teams are welcome to load in the back of our school starting at 8:30. Please make sure your coach brings a roster and permission slips for check-out. An adult should check the students back in after the parade.
For all our students watching the parade, we recommend you bring a plastic grocery sack. The throws from Homecoming rival those of Mardi Gras!

We strongly encourage students to stay at school after these events. I know it's tempting, but every minute counts and is planned for, so please don't take them home early. Also, today is Pizza Day!
