National Honor Society celebrated Random Acts of Kindness Day this morning by recognizing some middle and high school students who were seen last week by teachers and staff doing random acts of kindness at school.

Thank you to all the students who show kindness and inclusion everyday!

Due to a several recent injuries to players on our girls basketball team, the number of players available for JV level games is limited. Because of this the JV girls games both today (Feb. 10th) and on Thursday (Feb. 12th) will be 2 quarters instead of a full game. Both of these girls JV games will be played in the middle school gym. The boys JV games will be full games and will be played in the high school gym. Start times for JV remain unchanged and will start at 4:30pm.

Additionally, the JV girls will NOT play in the Wood River tournament on Saturday February 14th. The boys JV will participate in this tournament as planned.
