Following the fire truck escort, the team and coaches will be honored at a welcome home celebration in the school cafeteria. A cake reception will be held following the celebration.

Yesterday, Mrs. Worman's 3rd grade and Mrs. Niemerg's 2nd grade students searched for rhythms around the music room. They copied the rhythms they found and then used them to compose an 8 measure melody. Great activity Mrs. Richardson!

They're off to state! Good luck boys!

We want to send a huge thank you to the Dieterich and Altamont communities for supporting our "Volley for a Cure" fundraiser to assist the Lankford and Kennedy families in their battles with cancer.
