Coach Higgs will be away this week, but Coach Jed will be filling in to do sprints and weightroom for those that want to keep the momentum going on their gains!
25 Years!
In 2000, Terreton Elementary teachers and students created a time capsule to be opened twenty-five years later, in 2025. The time capsule was then stored in the basement of the '38 building of the Terreton Elementary School until now!
Plans have been made for the time capsule to be opened on the last day of school. On Thursday, May 29th at 11:15AM, those who would like to come to the Panther Den to witness the opening of the time capsule are welcome to join us! A new time capsule will then be created to be opened in 2050!
Rumor has it, there is a Twinkie inside the time capsule! Come to find out!
Check to see if you recognize any names on the time capsule and tag them in the comments!
We're pleased to announce that our Wrestling Program will now be led by Co-Head Coaches Peter Fisher and Kendell Goodier. Their individual strengths will complement each other for a great coaching partnership.
