Dec. 6th Early Release and Shamrock Pride Day
Tuesday, December 6th is an early release day. Dismissal is at 12:30pm and breakfast and lunch will be served.
Our Shamrock Spirit Club is also organizing this day as a Shamrock Pride Day. They chose this date because the next day, December 7th, is Pearl Harbor Day, which is when many members of the Shamrock Football Club in 1941, for whom our school is named, played their last football game. In honor of those brave men who made the ultimate sacrifice, our school bears the name of their team and we will wear our Shamrock clothes or green and white to help remember them.
