Parker Koch participated in the 2024 KMEA 1-2A State Honor Band in Wichita. They practiced all day Thursday and Friday with the performance on Saturday. The band sounded great! It is amazing what these students can accomplish. Two of the songs they performed were The Water is Wide by Swearingen and American Cameos by Dawson. Congratulations, Parker!

Another item I didn't get posted from Wednesday of this past week. I took some sophomores back up to HCC center to look at their Precision Ag, Welding, construction, diesel tech, and other programs. Education may at times be assessed in the form of an A,B,orC but in the end it's about gaining knowledge and skills. A high school diploma provides all of us options!

A few items from the past week- Mrs Poe was challenged by a 6th grade student in a typing dual. Reward= Recess. It was a great battle (60-70 wpm) and the student did win one of the three, but Mrs Poe came through and gave them recess anyways:)
