Congratulations to all the people who represented our school at the State Fair scholastic competitions.
Todd Becker
The Todd Becker Foundation program was a solemn assembly that came to our high school. It was about a teen, Todd Becker, who had everything going for himself until he made a wrong choice that took his life. His brother, Keith Becker, came to our school, on August 25th, to talk to us about making the right choice. He wanted us to learn from his brother’s mistake. Keith talked about the way his brother had gone from being on the right track to graduate to being somewhere at the wrong place and at the wrong time. The program was very moving. The assembly was inspirational and had many of the students wanting to change. The Todd Becker Foundation has their own website at www.toddbecker.org for anyone who would like to learn more about it.
