CHS Prom Is Growing Near!

The Junior/Senior prom is Sat. April 12th. It will be held at Bridle Creek Ranch and Resort in Sperry. There are directions on their website at www.bridlecreekok.com. Tickets are $15.00ea. and will be on sale at the HS after Spring Break. All attendees must buy a ticket. Because of the added expense of renting a facility, seniors are no longer free. No tickets will be sold at the door. Since the prom will not be held at the school there will not be a Grand March as we have had in the past. Prom attendees should arrive at 8:00 pm. There will be a social hour from 8:00 to 9:00, where students may have refreshments, take pictures and watch the prom video. Once the students enter the lodge they will not be allowed to leave unless they are not returning. The Dance will begin at 9:00 and end at 12:00am. Parents are welcome to take pictures outside as the students arrive but because of occupancy limits will not be allowed to enter the Lodge. No exceptions!
For Questions you may email Missy DeLozier at mdelozier@collinsville.k12.ok.us
The Cardinals In Action (CIA) were helping their community with their support of the Red Cross Blood Drive Friday in the CHS gym March 14th, 2008. Jessica Dyer (below) was one of the many CHS students donating.

Skippy
Pet Of The Week

Skippy (a Pit Bull/Heeler Mix) now lives at the Ward-Wiseman Animal Haven but could really use your help finding a permanent home. Skippy needs to be the only male dog in his future home. He is calm and listens very well. He will make a wonderful pet. -- 3/15/2008

Collinsville schools are on spring break March 17-22. Early forcasts show the annual rains perhaps ending before the American Bank of Oklahoma Classic baseball woodbat tournament starting 19th at CHS.
