🏐❤️ BATTLER OF THE WEEK: QUINN LARSON 🤍🏐 Quinn’s growth on the court this season has been exciting to watch! She has become an aggressive hitter and blocker on varsity and brings that same attacking mentality to the back row on JV. Her coach praised her growing confidence, improvement in every skill, and willingness to keep attacking the ball. Her commitment to developing into a more well-rounded player has made her a valuable part of both teams! Way to keep growing and competing, Quinn! 👏 #BattlerOfTheWeek #BattlerPride #BattlerVolleyball

The high school student council hosted a pumpkin carving event this past Tuesday. Students enjoyed carving, scooping seeds, and creating unique designs!

🎉 That’s a wrap on 7th Grade FACS! 🎉 Half of the 7th Grade class has officially wrapped up their 9 weeks in Mrs Langer's FACS class! Throughout the quarter, students have been busy learning valuable life skills and putting them into practice! 💵 Money Skills: Students learned how to correctly count back change, and some have already put those skills to use while working in the concession stand! 🧺 Laundry Basics: From sorting and washing clothes to learning how to iron, students gained skills they can use at home. 🍳 Kitchen Skills: Students learned their way around the kitchen, practiced kitchen safety, and put their cooking skills to the test by making grilled cheese sandwiches and pancakes! 🍩 A Sweet Ending: We wrapped up our 9 weeks with a trip to Langers, where students got some hands-on experience making donuts! It’s been a fun 9 weeks filled with learning, laughter, and plenty of hands-on experiences! The best part is seeing students take what they’ve learned in the classroom and use it in everyday life. Great job, 7th graders! ❤️🖤
