We had an exciting week in Athletics. Varsity Boys Basketball earned a critical win over Edison with Devin's 3-point shot at the buzzer. This excitement from Monday continued to reverberate throughout the week. Girls Soccer made it to the playoffs and 11 Wrestlers (6 boys and 5 girls) made it to Wrestling Masters this weekend.

I want to recognize all of our winter sport athletes, cheerleaders and pep band for creating a wonderful atmosphere. I look forward to all the activities students are planning for FFA week and International Week later this month.

Many in our community will be celebrating the Lunar New Year over the next few weeks. Lunar New Year for 2024 begins February 10.

Happy Lunar New Year!

Sincerely-

Mrs. Hummel
