In Sports News: Boys Basketball A-team beat Pennfield 63-35. Jamison Grammer led us with 27 points. Jaxson Miller finished with 15 points. It was a huge bounce-back performance and a clean sweep on the night, with both teams rolling to victories over the Panthers!

Congratulations to the 7B boys basketball team on their big win last night over Pennfield 38-13. The boys ran the floor hard, and almost every boy scored in the big win. Great work last night, boys! Practice tonight is 3-5 at the admin building.

All 6th, 7th, and 8^th grade boys and girls interested in Middle School Swimming and Diving, stop by in the main office to sign up! The season will start after Thanksgiving and you must have a physical on file before the first practice. No previous swimming and diving experience is necessary!
