Congratulations to our Regional Qualifiers! These young men are headed out today and will lift tomorrow at the Regional Powerlifting Meet in Alvord. Good luck, Greyhounds!
4th and 5th Grade will be doing a service project for each month of the remaining school year. This month they have chosen to collect items to put in care packages for the homeless. Amy May, who hands out these care packages with her daughter, Emma, came today to speak with grades Pre-K through 12 about items that would be appreciated. She also shared some very touching experiences, like how something as simple as a nail file or a fork can make someone feel human again. Thank you for coming to visit with us!
We will be collecting items for these packages throughout the month of March. Some ideas are non-perishable food items (Make sure cans have a pull tab!), toiletries like soap or wet wipes (Grab those freebies at hotels!), new socks, bottled water, and even the bags themselves. Let's take the opportunity to give back and make a difference in someone's life!
1st Team All District: JW Montgomery
2nd Team All District: Luke Eli
Honorable Mention: Blaze Duncan & Kyler Tunnell
Academic All District: Justin Patton

Ms. Colclasure's Art class is almost done with their Multicultural Art Projects! They had to choose a country and an artist & sculptor from that country. Each student had to create an original piece of art inspired by his artist's work. These are pictured here! They must also create and present a slideshow at the end of this week. There are some very creative pieces here; great work!

Our Dr. Seuss week may come to an end today, but never our love for reading! Pre-K and Kindergarten had a pajama day and found some comfy places to read; some even used flashlights! Kindergarten wrote about their favorite Dr. Seuss book and what they would do if the Cat in the Hat ever came to visit them. And Second Grade proudly hung their Dr. Seuss colorings in the cafeteria!
We have added a HS Track Meet to Thursday, March 12th, at Wichita Falls. The track meet will start at 12:00 P.M.
Pre-K soaked up the sun today while reading outside and did some fun Cat in the Hat finger painting! Kindergarten copied the Cat and wore some fun hats of their own, and then tried their hand at reading with their eyes shut! We've got one more day of Dr. Seuss fun!

Did you see any wacky kiddos today? Pre-K and Kindergarten dressed up for Wacky Wednesday, another great book by Dr. Seuss! Pre-K also measured how long their feet are and made their own Truffula Trees from "The Lorax"!
There are just a few days left - don't miss out! Our Junior Class is selling cookies and brownies during STAAR period for only $1!
Our One Act Play cast and crew head to Ranger today to perform "The Diary of Adam and Eve"!
Kindergarten read "The Butter Battle Book" by Dr. Seuss and made their own butter! They took small jars of cream and shook them until their arms were sore!
Miss Estrada's Pre-K class read Dr. Seuss's classic "Green Eggs and Ham" and had to try it for themselves! Surprisingly enough, everyone approves!
