With yesterday's snow and wind, there are still some back roads with significant drifts, making it difficult for buses to pass.
We are going to have a no school day due to inclement weather.
This award is presented to the varsity team in each classification that achieves the highest cumulative grade point average.
A BIG CONGRATULATIONS TO:
Leah Babcock
Kymberlee Bitter
Birklee Burtenshaw

Keep up the good work! We are proud of you!
A key fob was found on the west end of the high school parking lot last week. This is a different fob from the one we use at the school district. If this is yours, please stop by the district office to claim it. You will be asked to identify the lanyard.
Depending on the outcome of the HS Boys Basketball District Game on Monday, Wednesday's schedule is unknown at this time. We will post an EDIT in the captions when we know for sure.
