Our Junior and Senior High Competitive Cheer teams hosted the second MSAC competition Thursday night. Both teams represented the community well and put on the first home competition in two years. They also honored the seniors in the program: Julia Weglowska, Alexis Wright, and Lilliana Colmus. They still have multiple competitions left in the season, but are showing growth each week.
Don't mix up who's who when our 5th grade teachers dress as twins!
It's Romeo & Juliet time again! Mrs. Shumaker's freshmen English classes traditionally act out Romeo & Juliet, and this year was no different. Students dress and have the option to play various rolls. (In other words, we had a few Romeos and a couple of Juliets.)
Students who visit Katelyn Ward for reading/writing intervention in the Elementary might work on a few of these things in small groups. Time spent in reading/writing intervention entails intensive, targeted instruction to develop foundational literacy abilities like decoding, phonics, vocabulary, comprehension, and writing mechanics.
The HS boys basketball teams traveled to Carson City-Crystal last night. The JV boys fought valiantly with five players due to sickness and injury and kept it a 1-point game almost the entire way only to fall at the end. The varsity boys took charge early and came out with a 63-22 victory. They were led by Logan Glazier's 21 points and 13 rebounds.. Jared DeVrieze had 18 points and 6 boards and Bob Harsh hit 10 in both categories. The boys host Sacred Heart this Tuesday with the JV tipping off at 5:30.
We moved the JH Boys Basketball game we had to cancel yesterday to this afternoon, Thursday 1/23. Carson City-Crystal was able to facilitate this on their end to ensure our boys don't miss an opportunity. So we will have the 8th-grade boys play at 4:30 with the 7th-graders to follow.
