Today (Friday, Oct. 2nd) was the final day for middle schoolers to purchase their ticket to the Cedar Fun Center using their ClassBank money!
If your student purchased their spot, please be sure to complete their permission slip in the school app as soon as possible.

💡 Friendly reminder: There is no out-of-pocket cost to parents for this reward trip—our students earned it!

Rivalry night under the lights! 🏈🔥

Canyon View vs. Cedar High JV brought all the energy tonight, and Gateway had familiar faces on both sidelines! Cedar took the win 26–13, but seeing these former classmates and buddies celebrate together afterward was the real highlight.

Win or lose, we’re always cheering loud for our alumni. Great battle out there, boys! 👏

Once a Raptor, always a Raptor!! 🦖
