Dear Cowboy Community,

Last week's Prom was a huge success and we saw a large number for students attend and have a great time. Thanks to Student Council, Mrs. McDonald, Ms. Wise, and all of our Chaperones, as well as Western Colorado University, for the team effort in hosting a wonderful dance. We have another one coming up...SpringFest is here! On Tuesday, April 28th, we will host our annual awards ceremony in the morning, followed by a Pep Assembly and afternoon activities. Mrs. Lull and her Kitchen Team are preparing a wonderful Hawaiian-themed lunch as well. And, on the subject of food, LULAC will be selling their homemade churros during SpingFest! Check out this schedule for the full event lineup.

Our AP students will be taking their AP exams the week of May 4th. We have students taking exams in Human Geography, Physics, Statistics, United States History, and World History.

GHS Clubs have been engaging in some incredible service this spring. LULAC volunteered at the Gunnison Food Pantry with an Earth Day cleanup, while the GHS Legion spent an afternoon of work at the Gunnison Cemetery.

Congratulations to Seniors Aiden Tomlin and Faith Pederson, and to Juniors Nora Abila, and Natalia Hernandez Sabino. The foursome brought home a team championship from Salida on Thrusday, with Aiden and Faith finishing in 1st and 2nd Places, respectively. They'll head to Rifle Creek on Monday.

Mr. Mueller and the Band are off to the Colorado West Music Festival. They perform this afternoon at Grand Junction High School. Our FFA judging team heads out to the State Judging Contest in Fort Collins on Monday and Tuesday. Track & Field are competing in Alamosa today, and JV Baseball has games at home today and Monday, both at 3pm and 5pm. Varsity Baseball hosts Roaring Fork Saturday at 11am and 1pm.

Have a wonderful weekend and GO COWBOYS!
