Grades K-8: If you didn't turn in your permission slip this past Friday for the NKU field trip coming up next week, please make sure to return it signed first thing tomorrow morning to your teacher!
A few things to note in preparation for the trip:
1. This trip is completely free! NKU provides us free tickets for the game and our school will cover the cost of the busses.
2. Students will not be permitted to purchase anything from the concession stands or the gift shop while they are there. Please do not send money with them that day.
3. All students will receive a packed, bag lunch to eat during the game since we will be there mid-day.
4. We would love for everyone, staff and students alike, to wear their new Southgate TEAM shirts that day.
Go Norse!

The Lady 🦁 Roared today in their big victory over the St. Therese 🐎! The defense was stingy, & the girls played great as a TEAM. The boys also battled today but fell short to Calvary Christian. Keep working hard student athletes! 🦁❤️🏀
