Next Friday is the big game against Round Rock High School.  However, we have an opportunity for a friendly pre-game competition that will also assist the needy.  This year, the Health Occupations Students of America at both schools are hosting the annual "Peanut Butter and Jelly Bowl" game.  Students from SP9 and SPHS will bring jars of jelly and students at RRHS will bring jars of peanut butter.  On Friday, the jars will be counted and the school with the most donations will be the winner of the "2009 Peanut Butter and Jelly Bowl".

All students.... please bring your jars of jelly to room #202 at SP9 or room B-132 at SPHS.  All donations will be given to the Round Rock Area Serving Center to assist people in need this Fall.  Remember.... we need all donations by Friday!!!

Let's go out and Jam Round Rock!!!!
