📣 Cross Country & Basketball Tryouts – Important Update
For any student-athletes who have a conflict between basketball tryouts and Thursday’s cross country meet, please don’t worry! We want our students to honor their commitment to cross country, and we expect them to attend and participate in their cross country meet.
We will not officially conclude tryouts for any student-athlete participating in Thursday’s cross country meet until they have completed their meet and fulfilled their cross country commitment. These athletes will have the opportunity to attend basketball practice and complete their tryout process afterward, whether that means Friday or Monday of the following week.
We want our student-athletes to be able to participate in both activities, and we appreciate them honoring their commitments to their teams!

In Mr. Renner’s Advanced Innovation and Design classroom at the Middle School, the low hum of 3D printers is pretty constant. Students bring creative ideas to life and Brenden is a perfect example.
When tasked with printing a project that “solved a problem,” Brenden went to work. Building on a keychain project that he printed last year, he designed and built a custom keychain holder styled after Piranha Plant from the Super Mario franchise.
Brenden said this was his most elaborate print job, complete with moving parts that he assembled.
Looks great! 🎮 🍄

A huge shoutout to Mrs. Wigg’s Middle School leadership class for bringing a splash of color and Halloween spirit to our district!
They just finished crafting these amazingly decorated pumpkins, which are heading out to our elementary schools and admin building for everyone to enjoy. They look great!
