Glad to have some outstanding parents with us as well! Special thanks to Kenny Ward for his always excellent planning and leadership on this trip.

SkillsUSA students Hayden Cordell, Hudson Manis, and Deacon Holtsclaw have built 10 picnic tables for our school and FTE. These students secured a wooly worm grant to help fund this project. This is part of their American Spirit competition. They will be competing later in April, but our schools will be reaping the benefits long before that date. We are so proud of these young men for all of their hard work.
