Please mark your calendars for the LHS Musical "The 25th Annual Putnam County Spelling Bee" this week. The dates are March 10, 11, and 12. Doors open at 6:30 pm with performances starting at 7:pm. Admission is $5.00 per person. An eclectic group of six elementary school adolescents vie for the spelling championship of a lifetime. While candidly disclosing hilarious and touching stories from their home lives, the tweens spell their way through a series of (potentially made-up) words, hoping never to hear the soul-crushing, pout-inducing, life un-affirming "ding" of the bell that signals a spelling mistake. Six spellers enter; one speller leaves! At least the losers get a juice box. A riotous ride, complete with audience participation, The 25th Annual Putnam County Spelling Bee is a delightful den of comedic genius.

Boys basketball tonight vs Banks HS starts at 5:00 pm. Admission prices are $8 for adults and $6 for students. NO PASSES ARE ALLOWED. GO TIGERS!!!!
