Good luck to the Umpire Wildcats who are headed to the state track meet today! Our senior high teams competed at 1A-7 Conference Track & Field in Mineral Springs last week, and we had several qualifiers for the state meet. Saedee White earned 1st place in the 1600 meter run and the 3200 meter run. Delaney Ford earned 2nd place in the 1600 meter run and the 3200 meter run. These girls also competed in the 4 x 800 meter relay with Savanna White and Emily Murphy and earned 1st place. Emmanuel Albiter earned 1st place in the 800 meter run.
All of our Wildcats worked hard and stepped out of their comfort zones, and we are so proud of them!

Mrs. Dee’s Kindergarten class recently explored the life cycle of chickens in a hands-on and memorable way by incubating and hatching our very own chicks! Students learned about each stage of development leading up to hatching, and they were thrilled to observe the process up close. After the chicks arrived, we enjoyed listening to their cheerful chirps and watching them grow.
This was an incredible learning experience for our class, and we are so grateful to Charlotte Wiles and Farm Bureau for giving us the opportunity through their Egg Hatching Grant!
