Let's Spring Into Healthy Self Care Habits!

The Gifted and Talented kiddos have been busy this year! A group went and volunteered at the food bank, a group went to Silver Dollar City, and elementary classes have been busy learning the art of engineering, chess, and visual dexterity. The 4th-6th graders have created stop motion animation, researched the history of Fulton county (a field trip is coming soon!), and researched real life heroes. The High School kids have researched rollercoasters and are currently building resumes with high school successes!

Big shout out to Cash Perryman for knowing last weeks trivia question!According to Roman mythology…who is the son of Mercury and Venus?

Due to inclement weather, tonight's Senior District tournament games have been postponed to tomorrow night. Tomorrow nights scheduled ballgames will be played on Wednesday night.

Due to a shortage of available officials, tonight's games with Yellville have been cancelled. Unfortunately, 2 of the 3 scheduled officials could not make it tonight, and we could not find replacements on such short notice. Once again, tonight's games with Yellville have been cancelled.
