Archery begins Tuesday, December 2 at 6 AM. Students should bring their completed paperwork and fees with them to practice!

On Thursday, we had our annual Turkey Bowling Tournament during the Jr High and High School lunch shifts. As usual, we had a great time. Ms. Knight came in strong, ready to defend her title from last year and bowled the first strike, but fell short in the tie breaker where Ms. LaCavera came out victorious! I would say Mr. Wecker probably won for best form. Some students also shared in the fun with Henry Tichenor, Jax Glossip, and Gavin Kram all bowling strikes. The turkey was a little worse for the wear when we were finished with it!

Some of Mrs. Lairmore's 8th graders discovered the Pythagorean Theorem using Cheez-Its and Starbursts. They then applied what they learned by measuring boxes and calculating the length of the diagonal.
