Last Week of School Before Christmas Vaca!!!!

Only one more week left and I have a feeling it is going to fly by!!  Lots of activities going on.  Tonight the 5&6 and JH teams play at Gage.  Not all of the kids are suiting up and playing though, because Gage has to use younger players to field their teams.  So we are treating this sort of like a Junior Varsity game for the 5&6 and JH.
Basically in all three of my classes, we are going over our study guides and reviewing for the 9 weeks tests and semester tests.  Check the list below to see when your test is scheduled.

First Winter Snow!!!

What a beautiful winter snow we got last night!!  I was curled up in front of my warm, blazing fire, sipping hot chocolate while reading "The Night Before Christmas" to my little girl.  It just doesn't get any better than that.  A very relaxing way to spend the evening.
Today our HS basketball teams play at the 5 County Conference Tournament at Hammon.  The girls play at 4:30 and play Cheyenne-Reydon, while the boys play right after that and play Hammon.
