This past Friday, middle and high school students were offered the Knockout Sandwich -- this year's PCPS Sandwich Throwdown winning entry. The sandwich was created by two Page County Middle School students. Initial feedback was that the sandwich was BUSSIN' (in other words, the students really liked it). Look for this item to return in the fall.

LHS Class of 2023 strikes again! Lunchtime LHS-- Student rushes to Mrs. Clark (principal) Student (Loudly) :"Mrs. Clark, you need to go outside fast. Something is going on--LIKE NOW!" Mrs. Clark----Calls on the radio "Deputy Beahm, I'm going to need you outside right now!!," as she barrels out of the front doors (with at least 60 kids behind her). Mrs. Clark stops, looks around, and is just a little shocked to watch as her car goes by on the back of a rollback. LOL. SRO Deputy Beahm DID go outside, only so he could record it because he was in on the prank, and rumor has it Mrs. Clark's husband may have played a part in it too! (wink, wink) Thank you to Stacey's Towing for helping the kids to pull off another great prank! Nice job, Class of 2023!
