Every year at St. John High, we have our annual Sadie Hawkins Dance. It is a small dance, put together by the Key Club that brings the school together to have fun and dance. This year’s Sadie Hawkins will be different than the past years. For 2008, the theme of Sadie Hawkins will be “A Black and White Affair”. The dance will be held on January 26, 2008. It will take place from 7:00-10:00 p.m., with a lock-in at 7:30.There is a very specific dress code for the dance. Students will be allowed to wear their favorite black and white attire, but they will not be allowed to wear jeans. The dance will take place in the St. John School Cafeteria. There will be a D.J., a photographer, tons of decorations, and fun for all.

He was found at 3:26 pm, according to police, and pills were strewn on the bed around his naked body, though it hasn’t been confirmed whether they are prescription or over-the-counter. It’s not clear why Ledger was at Olsen’s apartment, since she is reportedly in California.

Baseball season is not far away and the St. John High School baseball team has been practicing very hard. Practice for the Eagles began January 3. After three weeks of hard work we have seen much improvement. We are beginning to gel with one another and become a big family on the field. Coach Whittington, Harrell, and Landry have been working us extremely hard 3-4 hours a day, getting us better and where we need to be. The work ethic is unbelievable and is progresses each day.

            The Eagles fundraising has begun with advertisement signs and the spaghetti dinner. The advertisement signs are new to the fundraising program at St. John. The signs cost $100 and will be up for this baseball season. The spaghetti dinner is a tradition in Eagle baseball fundraising. The tickets for the spaghetti dinner cost $5 per plate. Please help out the Eagles and get a spaghetti dinner.

            This year Coach Whittington has set up a website for the Eagle baseball team. The website is www.stjohneaglebaseball.com. It is a great informational site and has lots of great things to offer. On the website you can find practice and game schedules, scores, stats, player information, awards, staff, and camps. The website allows the Eagles to be known worldwide. It is great for the players to get noticed by college and pro scouts. Many players don’t get the opportunity to play college ball because they aren’t known about. With the website it gives those players that aren’t known about an opportunity be heard of. The website is also a great advertisement for the team and the school. We are looking forward to this season and thanks for all of your support.
