Announcing our first Battle of the Cans!

Linganore and Oakdale High Schools will be competing in a canned food collection contest!  Canned foods will be collected at our home basketball game TONIGHT and again at our away basketball game on February 5^th against Oakdale.  Each school earns points for cans donated at their home games. Cans brought in by the visiting team count against that total. The SGA’s of both schools will be monitoring the collections. The winning school will earn a large trophy to keep for the year. There is no limit to the number of canned food items you can bring.  Our battle begins tomorrow.  BRING IN THOSE CANS!!!
