Middle School Thanksgiving Feast...We are thankful for our wonderful students!! Happy Thanksgiving!!
Thank you to our local VFW for supporting educators in our community. They generously gave each staff member a ham for the Thanksgiving break!
The middle schoolers held an "Are You Smarter than a Middle Schooler?" Competition before Thanksgiving. Students created teams of 4 that had to include a 6th, 7th, and an 8th grader. Teams faced off in a head to head contest. First place went to Morrison Thomas, Bradly Vasquez, Eli Aesoph, and Liam Lehman. Second place Finlee Heien, Layla Cronin, Jaycee Stevens, and Peyton Ahlemeier.
Great to see our parents, mentors, and coaches working with students in the gym and weight room!
Check out this guy! Michael Jager bowled a high score of 130 today and had 2 turkeys in the same day! Gabby Goebel was a tight second with 123. Thanks again, Liberty Lanes, for the fun time.
