Tuesday night, our Cowboys Basketball team wrapped up their season with a loss to HC in Region play over in Dupree.
To all of our winter sports teams — Boys Basketball, Girls Basketball, and Wrestling — thank you for your hard work and dedication throughout the season. We also want to thank our fans and supporters who followed along and cheered us on every step of the way.
As things slow down for just a moment, it won’t be long before the sprint starts again.
Track and Golf season are right around the corner…
and so is the nice weather! ☀️

Beans is now safely back in Mrs. Penfield’s classroom, where the third graders are keeping a close eye on her and making sure her cage is closed properly every day.
A huge thank you to Fran for rescuing our missing gecko!
And Beans… please stay put this time! 🦎💚
