Just a quick reminder. All students will be released from school at 12:30 tomorrow, Thursday, December 21st. There will be no Boost. Please contact the school to make transportation changes if your child normally attends Boost on Thursdays. Students will come back to school on Thursday, January 4th. Merry Christmas!
Thank you to the parents who came and watched their child's poetry recitation! I was impressed with the number of students who memorized their poems, as that was not a requirement. Contact Mrs. Dearcorn if you'd like a link to all the videos. The 4th graders did a great job!
Our Speech & Debate team travelled to Thermopolis for their second meet of the year & earned 1st place again!
Our HS Knowledge Bowl team took 2nd place out of 15 teams, ranging in size from 1A to 4A, at the Big Horn Knowledge Bowl in Greybull.

Team members practiced daily for several weeks, and will be competing again next month at Northwest College. Participants included Jordan Broederlow, Kitzen Schatz, Taft Winters, Rebecca Bullinger, Hannah Bullinger, Faith Davidson, Colt Haslam, Paul McNiven, Jordan Michaels, and Brikton Wardell.
Thanks for supporting the Holiday Program last evening. It was a nice way to get into the season.
Para PROfessionals: Whether they are working 1:1 with a student, helping students stay caught up on assignments, or managing small groups, our paras all do a great job assisting our teachers and staff. THANKS for all you do!
High School, Middle School, and Elementry Student Council members thank everyone who donated items for the veterans' care packages. We gathered enough things to fill six boxes. These items will be delivered to the Veterans in time for Christmas.
Thank you,
Please come support the Capstone Trip to Washington D.C.
Our music program starts tonight at 6:00pm in the gym! Students participating in the program need to arrive between 5:30 and 5:45. Hope to see you here!
Students had an opportunity to meet with Janie Wilcox, State Skills USA director. She discussed the state and national Skills USA competitions and the leadership skills needed. She detailed how these skill areas impact each of our lives in what we do.
Pretty neat news story by KTVQ and Pauline Parker invited them to school to interview a few students too.
First graders shared handmade (repurposed) ornaments during the senior luncheon yesterday, followed by some chatting and game-playing. Such a fun afternoon!

Nurse Susie Peterson taught students about eating healthier for the holidays. They made Christmas tree appetizers for their families!
Check out this basketball drill. Apparently the superhero masks help to build automaticity with keeping your eyes up and focused on the basket while also making it difficult to watch yourself dribble. Best of luck to our MS girls this weekend at the Big Horn Tournaments!
