7th/8th grade volleyball
If your daughter is playing middle school volleyball, please make sure a completed sports physical and concussion form are turned into the school office by the time practice starts.
Silage Piles
We are planning to cover silage piles again this year. We anticipate starting this by the end of August. We would ask that each family help out at one pile at least. We will also be requesting food items to be brought in for the workers. This is a great fundraiser for our school and many hands are needed!
