As a first-time Pig and Pickle attendee, all I can say is: WOW! What a day! I loved seeing all of the students putting their floats together, but they couldn't have done it without all of the staff and parents who turned out to help. The students had a blast, the food was great, the music was great, and it was amazing to see an entire community turn out for an event. We appreciate Community Betterment allowing us to participate, and two of our classes, the seniors and the 8th graders, took home some prize money for their floats.

Next up: FFA Alumni Truck and Tractor Pull, 7:00 p.m., Saturday, 9/24--see you there!

At the September board meeting, we made a change to this year's school calendar that will affect our ending date. The last day of school has been moved to Friday, May 12th--this will also be graduation. We still have enough built-in days that we will not have to make up any days missed for inclement weather. That is the only part of the calendar that is affected. It will be updated on the school website next week.
