Ready for questions, HOSA's information table about the blood drive stands organized outside of the cafeteria during lunch. The table will be out two weeks prior to the event.

Performing as one, the Rock Hill Band plays in place of the Mighty Eagle Band on October 4th at Children's Health Stadium. The Rock Hill Pep Band will play stand tunes for the Prosper playoff game tonight. “Even with our friendly competition that all three schools have, we still want to make a clear message that all of Prosper ISD is still one,” Rock Hill drum major senior Maxwell Lee said. “Also, we understand the importance of Grand Nationals as a competition for the PHS band, so we want to support their trip and we wish them the best of luck.”

Light on, the Moon Tree is being stored in the floral design classroom until it's planted next week. The tree will be planted outside of the cafeteria in the back of the school. Librarian Stephanie Riley partnered up with the USDA Forestry to receive a Moon Tree. “We also have a digital globe, but it's like a citizen science app where students can also help collect data that actually gets submitted to NASA to help with research about tree growth and everything,” Riley said. “So once we get it planted, then we'll start bringing everybody into it.”

From the moon to the school

Overlooking the main entrance of Prosper High School, buses enter the parking lot in the morning. Bus riders arrive later than car riders, meaning that they don't experience the bad traffic other students do. "Traffic is not that bad because I ride the bus," sophomore John Cohorn said. "I'm there almost always on time."

New traffic protocols to alleviate congestion
