Community meal this week!
Fall Athletics Banquet in McKenna Hall at 7pm TOMORROW, December 2nd. All varsity FB, VB, Cheer athletes and families should attend. Families whose last name starts with A to G bring a dessert, H through R bring a side or salad, and S through Z bring a hotdish. Meal first, awards to follow.
Our elementary students had an assembly this morning centered around thankfulness, school-wide expectations, leadership opportunities for our fifth graders (they helped lead today!) and the unveiling of our yearly goal and reward for reading points by winter break! We also surprised our students with these awesome shirts donated by Street Graphex in Milbank! Thank you to Beth and Mark for their generous gift and a huge Thanksgiving thank you to all of our parents/guardians for getting your kids to school each day- we are abundantly thankful for all of them and their unique personalities and gifts they bring to our school! #ONEPACK #ONEPURPOSE

Families of students in Football, Volleyball, and Football Cheer,
We will be doing a Fall Awards Banquet in McKenna Hall on Tuesday, December 2nd at 7:00pm.
The W-Club will provide a main course, a drink, plates, and silverware. Attendees are asked to bring a dish to pass. We are doing the meal a little bit differently this year: Families whose last name starts with A to G bring a dessert, H through R bring a side or salad, and S through Z bring a hotdish. We will eat first and the awards program will follow. Student-athletes and managers will be recognized at the awards program.
See you there,
Grant Hanson, AD
For anyone who may have missed the meeting!
Fifth and sixth grade basketball at home vs Summit tonight at 4:00 (girls) and 5:00 (boys).
