ALL BULLDOG

Tradition...I got to witness the prom version here at Marysville Saturday night. It was fun to watch the excitement downtown, even though things were a little chilly down at the promenade. I loved the walk and drive down Broadway and saw lots of smiles of the seniors as they made their way down the street one last time. The new location was a hit and there was nothing but fun being had by all (except maybe Quinton after a dance move he regretted). I appreciated all of the fun, but now starts the final push. Keep the prize in mind and finish strong!

K'Lynne is there for staff and students every day. She is the sponsor for the senior class and spent months finding a way to make the senior boards for 2021 and 2022 a reality. She takes care of our subs, powerschool, and you see her working the lunch line. Thanks for everything, K'Lynne!

Addy is a first-time National Qualifier for Forensics and she has dived into our fundraising efforts with incredible energy and enthusiasm. Sometimes when I talk to kids about fundraising, I just get kind of glazed looks, but Addy has really expressed interest and has responded with eagerness and energy to get the job done. Nice job, Addy!

Lindsey was a big help during class. She went out of her way to identify that the audio part of the program was not hooked up and went to get assistance so we could continue the class with minimal interruption! Thanks for the help Lindsey!

Elianna has made the most of her 8th grade year. She has done a nice job in the classroom and been involved all year long. Way to go!

They also had the opportunity to learn about careers in photography, car wrapping, and interior design.
