Each month, the 4th-grade students are given a reading challenge. The challenge is to make a bingo by reading chapter books of the given genres. These are the students who completed the December challenge.

Tonight's girls basketball game against AFC is varsity only. Game time starts at 6:00 PM at the high school.

Our 3rd-5th grade students have been working hard in PE this year. One of the activities is a fitness test called the PACER, a progressively challenging running test. Many of our students compete in the series of 3 tests in order to make it into the PACER Showcase, but only the top 14 girls and top 14 boys qualify. In December, we hosted our PACER Showcase with those qualifying students, and they were incredible! Our male champion was Cohen (2x champ), with Kellen and Braxtyn taking 2nd and 3rd, respectively. Our female champion was Mady (2x champ), with Riley (girl's school record holder) and Talia taking 2nd and 3rd, respectively. This is a fun event that the school rallies around each year. We want to thank our CPO for the donation for t-shirts for each qualifying student, and a special thank you to Jeanette Linker for her continued monetary contribution to supply medals, and help the classroom teachers receive shirts.

Senior Night is here! 🤼‍♂️
