Celebrating Student Success!
All in all, both grade levels had an excellent season - our 7th graders were 2nd in their Conference, as well as in the district, while our 8th graders became district champs! Congratulations to every student athlete who competed this school year, from C team to our A team - you represented our school with timber wolf pride! I am very proud of all of our accomplishments. Thank you Coach Holland, Rost, Rocheleau, Curry, Wagner, and Cope.
Fiesta is Coming!
Thank you for supporting our Young Historians!
