Nederland Middle-Senior HS Community,

The count is on. Today was the last day of school for our seniors. The seniors gathered for a final lunch, then we had graduation practice. They then headed over to Nederland Elementary School for the Senior Walk-Through. It was great seeing the elementary students high-fiving the Seniors. The 12th graders headed back to the high school for a final walk through, with all of the students cheering them on. It was a wonderful day. Graduation is at 1:00 p.m. tomorrow. See you there!

Have a great weekend,

Gavan

As of tomorrow, all spring sports are officially over. River LeMaster competed in the CHSAA Track & Field Championships today (300 m Hurdles), and she competes again tomorrow (8:30 am for High Jump at Jeffco Stadium). If you can, come cheer her on before graduation starts.

Tomorrow is the big day where we send off all of our seniors. Thank you to all of the seniors who competed in athletics over the last four years. I believe much of our recent success can be attributed to this very active group of student-athletes. Thank you to the following 26 seniors for their involvement in school-based athletics:
