COLA WARS Food Drive-
The number of meals raiser last week was in the Tackle Hunger game was 16,419. I know that between Arcola and Tuscola we can beat that number.
Support the Purple Riders in our efforts to Tackle Hunger. We will be collecting monetary donations and nonperishable items (Sept.2nd-6th) at the school and the night of the game. All food and funds go to Eastern Illinois Foodbank to support the Arcola Food Pantry. Go to eiufoodbank.org, make a donation, and designate it for Arcola. WCIA/News 3 will announce the winner of the Tackle Hunger match up. #colawars #wcia #eiufoodbank
Purple Rider Fans - This Friday's Cola War game will be broadcast on CISportsNetwork.com, so if you can't make it to the game you won't miss any of the action.
We just wanted to let all parents know that there was an accident outside the school on Rt 133 and emergency workers are using the school parking lot and practice field to help with the accident. The accident did not involve any of our students, they are simply using our facilities.
Get your Cola War shirts!!!!! The link to the order form is included below.

A few weeks ago, the Arcola School District announced that the school board was considering the construction of a new front entrance area for the elementary school and the remodeling of the hallways in the elementary and cafeteria area. Since that time, a district committee comprised of administrators, teachers, support staff professionals and building staff have conducted several meetings to discuss what exactly would be needed in the project if it were to move forward. The main message from all parties on the committee was: “We need new bathrooms!” For more information and to view a drawing of the proposed construction, click on http://www.arcola.k12.il.us/facility-planning
