We Have Begun Preparations for our 3rd Annual Pup Strut!

The Pup Strut is one of the PSG’s primary fundraising events and will be held October 1^st & 2^nd. Students participate in a five part obstacle course which concludes with a tricycle race to the finish. Each student will receive a Pup Strut T-shirt , participation ribbon and refreshments. Next week we will be holding our Pup Strut Shirt Design Contest at the BECC. The winning student’s drawing will be featured on the front of the T-shirt. The back of the T-shirts will feature the logos of our generous sponsors. We still have availability for additional business sponsors and the deadline for sponsorship is September 4. If you have a business and would be interested in being featured in our event, please contact Angie Hubbell BECC PSG Vice President at anghubbell4@yahoo.com for more information.
