The school recently committed to improving the area on the southwest corner of the track and football field complex. The area previously had some flowers and vegetation that proved hard to manage, and the area pooled water with every rainstorm. Glosson Construction improved this area with concrete and a retaining wall and cap. The area now drains water adequately and provides an excellent area for spectators during games, meets, barbeques, and outdoor classroom activities.
This week our Preschool class and their teachers, Mrs. Blake and Mrs. Sage, met with various staff members around the school to introduce the students to the jobs that they do. On Monday, Mrs. Walker from the kitchen came to the classroom and did a demonstration on how to cut apples and left them for the students to have for snack.
Tuesday, Mrs. Pickens in the office, explained her roll taking attendance, checking students in and out and showing them where to go if they are feeling sick or get hurt. The students were introduced to Mr. Randel and Mrs. Smith answered any questions they had about her job as principal. Mrs. Woods then showed the students around the HS office.
On Wednesday, Mr. Adolf, the custodian, stopped by the classroom to teach the students about his job and how he works to keep "bugs" (germs) out of our school.
Their last visitor was Mr. Christensen, who came to the classroom to read them "A Book with No Pictures. The students loved the silly story and filled the hallway with giggles!
Mrs Houston and her FBLA students took a field trip to Coors Field to learn about the Colorado Rockies Business of Baseball. Members from the front office talked to the students about their roles at Coors Field and what career paths lead them to work in these positions.
After the presentation, students were able to enjoy the stadium, eat and watch the Rockies take on the St. Louis Cardinals.
On Monday, September 23rd, 12 Ag I students traveled to New Raymer to compete in the Regional Range Judging contest. Students traveled to two range sites and essentially evaluate each to determine a stocking rate and best management practices. Students also identify 30 range plants in an ID test.
These students worked hard and came out as the Champion team. Congratulations to Arhy Bethel for being the top competitor of the day, and to Kashlee Randel and RyLee Bacon for joining her in the gold category for the win . Thank you to all who make this contest possible.
On Friday night our Pom team hosted the mini pom clinic! The pom team and 38 participants had two practices to learn the routine before it was performed at halftime of the football game. This year they danced to "Hey Mickey". Once the mini pom girls performed, the HS team had their own performance to "I Love Rock N' Roll".
