On Wednesday, our preschool through second grade students had a wonderful time visiting Pope's pumpkin patch! It was a fun and educational outing filled with fall-themed activities. Students explored the pumpkin fields, learned about how pumpkins grow, and even got to pick out their own pumpkin to bring home. They also enjoyed the big slide, bouncing on the pumpkin pillow and zip lines.

On Wednesday, members of our high school student body attended a safety workshop in Yuma. The event focused on important topics such as drug education and mental health support, providing students with valuable resources and strategies to promote well-being and informed decision-making.

The archaeology class took a trip to learn about tipi rings, Native settlement on the plains, and conducting field surveys. Students chose a tipi ring and plotted it on a survey sheet. Monday, they'll go back and complete their field survey.

On Tuesday, guest speakers Joe and Maggie Munarin from Australia, visited Mrs. Glosson’s 8th grade Career Exploration class and Mr. Schoenecker’s 9th grade Physical Science class. In the 8th grade, they talked about their business manufacturing furniture and gave students an inside look at the Australian workforce, covering things like wages, healthcare, time off, and retirement benefits. In the 9th grade class, the Munarins discussed renewable energy in their home state of Queensland, Australia. They shared that many Australians have solar panels on their homes and that renewable energy is a major focus across the country. Both classes had the opportunity to ask any other questions they had which included questions about Australian schools, animals, sports, weather, holidays, crime rates, and the time difference. We truly appreciate Joe and Maggie for taking the time to visit. They said they were thankful for how welcoming everyone was and were especially surprised by the strong sense of patriotism in our school and community.

Mrs. Houston recently hosted her annual FAFSA Night, providing students and their families with valuable guidance on completing the Free Application for Federal Student Aid. The event offered hands-on assistance, answered important financial aid questions, and helped ensure students are one step closer to securing college funding.

The middle school football season came to a close last Thursday as the teams faced off against a tough Haxtun squad. In their final matchup, the A team battled hard but ultimately fell short to the Bulldogs.

Despite the loss, the season marked significant growth and development for the players and coaching staff. From the first practice to the final whistle, the team showed consistent improvement in both individual skills and overall teamwork.

Congratulations to the middle school football team on a season filled with growth, effort, and determination!

Saturday marked the end of the middle school volleyball season with the LPAA Tournament in Merino.

The A team opened the day with a tough loss to SedgCo, but bounced back with strong wins over Caliche and Wray.

Congratulations to all the middle school volleyball players and their coaches on a great season!

Our cross country team had a strong showing at the League Cross Country Meet held in Wiggins on Saturday.

Kolton Strand, Eli Hart, and Addison Weis all represented their school with determination and grit. Eli Hart earned a 7th place finish, while Addison Weis had an outstanding performance, placing 2nd overall.

Great job to all our runners for their hard work and representing us well!

Friday night proved to be an exciting win for the Rams as they took down the Haxtun Bulldogs in a thrilling rematch of last year’s state championship game. With determination and grit, the Rams edged out the Bulldogs 28-24 in a hard-fought battle, avenging their previous defeat and making a strong statement this season.

On Monday, the JV Rams traveled to Haxtun to face the Bulldogs. Despite a solid effort and moments of strong play, the Rams ultimately fell short, losing 22-12.

Pink Out Night for the volleyball game was a huge success, both in the stands and on the court. The teams rallied together to support Amber Fincher and Courtney Wernsman, donating themed baskets to help raise funds for their causes. The evening ended on a high note as the Rams secured a big win over Haxtun.

The momentum continued into Tuesday night, when the Rams hosted Caliche at home. In a thrilling five-set match, the Rams came out on top once again, adding another victory to their growing season record.

This past Friday night, our Pom team lit up the field with an unforgettable performance during the annual Pink Out game. Even as the rain came down, the energy never faltered. Dressed in vibrant pink to support breast cancer awareness, the team delivered a powerful and spirited routine that wowed the crowd and lifted everyone's spirits.
