On April 21, the district will begin conversations with the community, solicit thoughts and ideas, and hear from all stakeholders about the school related things they value. Snacks will be provided. This meeting will be held in the District Office Professional Development room.
Building walls
Wyatt Jones and Brandon Ward finished first and third, respectively, at the state Skills USA competition.
The competition tests various skills, one of which is building skills. Students are given a set of plans and three hours to build a wall. They do so in front of judges.

It is reported that the last food drive for the backpack program went really well. Students were very generous.
