7th Grade Locker Night

Last night, September 1st, from 5-7 pm, young and anxious students new to the "big" school environment, attended South County's locker night, along with their parents and packed backpacks. This locker night was supposed to be a night when the youngest students in the school could have a jumpstart on the first day antics, especially since they aren't allowed backpacks in their classes.
