Tickets are going on sale for the October 22nd Fall Gala which will benefit the senior class at Preble County High School.
The theme this year is “Autumn Leavesâ€. It’s a great opportunity to support some even greater kids!
My second oldest son is Zachary is a senior and I am going to miss him very much. He’s such a sweet boy, he hasn’t had trouble at school since second grade.
That year I got called into the principal’s office for a chat because his teacher said that Zachary wouldn’t stop sticking his hands down his pants. I asked him why and he said, “I don’t know, it just feels good!â€
I told him it wasn’t appropriate school behavior and he’s been on the straight and narrow ever since!
Tickets are $3 for students and $5 for everyone else. The dance starts at 7:00pm. I’m hoping to see a lot of you there!

The Preble Picayune was a bi-weekly newspaper that served the people of Preble County, Ohio for over a century. Just a few years ago, “The Pic” was a flourishing publication, reaching almost 30,000 readers daily, but with the rise of the World Wide Web, circulation fell into a decline. By September 2009 only fourteen subscribers remained. The Picayune, like so many other local newspapers around the country, was forced to close its doors.
