Southern Kern Unified morning bulletin lists minimum day, back-to-school night, Sept. 11 tribute, picture retakes and fundraiser
Summary
A student-run morning bulletin at a Southern Kern Unified school announced a minimum day for students today because of back-to-school night at 5:30 p.m., picture retakes on Thursday, a Sept. 11 tribute at Friday's football game, a freshman fundraiser during lunches and that progress reports are due Friday.
Students at a Southern Kern Unified campus used the school’s student-run morning bulletin to announce schedule changes and upcoming events: today is a minimum day because of back-to-school night at 5:30 p.m.; picture retakes are scheduled for Thursday, Sept. 11; the football game on Sept. 12 will include a Sept. 11 tribute for veterans and first responders; the freshman class is running a “Soca Freshman” fundraiser during both lunches on Friday, Sept. 12; and progress reports are due Friday.
The bulletin, read aloud by students during the morning announcement period, said the minimum day shortens the school day to allow families to attend back-to-school night, which begins at 5:30 p.m. Students were reminded to check class schedules and meet teachers during that evening event. Picture day retakes were announced for Thursday, Sept. 11; the bulletin did not specify exact times for retakes.
Organizers told students the football game on Sept. 12 will open with a Sept. 11 tribute. The bulletin said veterans and first responders will be escorted to midfield for recognition at the start of the game; the tribute will follow the posting of colors and the national anthem. The bulletin identified the event as occurring at the beginning of the game but did not give a kickoff time.
The freshman class fundraiser, promoted as “Soca Freshman,” is scheduled for both lunches on Friday, Sept. 12. Prices announced in the bulletin were $1 for a cup, $5 for a bucket and $10 for a “nice bucket.” Students were encouraged to bring money to support the fundraiser. The bulletin described the fundraiser as a chance for students to “soak” members of the freshman class as part of the event.
The bulletin also noted athletic updates: the volleyball team won its first league match the previous day, and students expressed enthusiasm about an upcoming game against Mammoth. No formal school decisions or policy changes were announced in the recording; the items reported were schedule reminders and student-organized activities.
School staff and parents who need further details about times, locations or permission requirements for these events should consult official Southern Kern Unified communications or contact the school directly, as the student bulletin did not include contact information or full logistical particulars.
