Digging Out from all the Snow!!

My Goodness we certainly had a lot of snow!!  I guess I should be thankful we didn't have as much as some other towns up north.  We also had another day out of school for this wintery weather.  It's starting to become a weekly trend.  I don't know if it makes me happy or sad.  I guess that all depends on if we have to make the days up or not!  Districts start tomorrow.  Leedey is hosting Shattuck and Arnett.  Our boys play tomorrow night at 8:00 against Shattuck.  Our girls will play the winner between Arnett and Shattuck girls Saturday night at 6:30.  Come out and support both teams.  I wish both boys and girls all of the luck in Leedey as their journey to the "Big House" starts this weekend!!

Hey Old Man Winter--Enough Already!!!

Brrrrrrr!!!  Enough with the cold windy weather!  But more is coming in tonight.  Uugh!!  The HS plays tonight at Seiling.  The GS games got canceled so they could move the HS games up to a 3:30 start time.  We are trying to get the games in before the 5-8 inches of snow starts to fall.  Today in both 7th & 8th grade, we did the class spelling bee.  Congrats to Emily for winning second place and to Jacee for winning first place in the 7th grade; Allison for winning second place and Morgan for winning first place in the 8th grade.  All four of these girls will participate in the Leedey Local Spelling Bee this Thursday during DEAR and enhancement time.

Marvelous Monday Gets the Week Started!!

Tonight there are JH ballgames at Hammon at 6:30.  I believe it is the last JH game of the season.  The 3&4 play in front of them at 4:30.  Good luck to all.  Congrats to the HS girls for winning the 270 Conf. Championship against Ft. Supply girls Saturday night at Arnett.  Our HS boys also won their game on Thursday.  Unfortunately, only the 5&6 boys were able to win at the Reydon Festival on Saturday.  The local Leedey Spelling Bee is scheduled for this Thursday, Feb. 10 during DEAR and Enhancement for the 5th -8th class winners.  The 7th & 8th grade are having their class bees tomorrow because of a music festival on Wednesday and potential bad weather coming in on Tuesday night.  I gave all students a list of 40 some words that I will use for the class bee.

A Thursday that Feels Like Friday!!

Tonight is Parent-Teacher Conferences starting at 4:00.  We also have them tomorrow, so there is no school as conferences are scheduled from 9:00-12:00.  Yea!  No School tomorrow!!  So that's why this Thursday feels like Friday.

Way Too Cold!! BRRRRRRR!!!!!!

I'm not sure that I have ever experienced a wind chill like we are currently having.  It is -18 degrees according to my iPhone weather advisory.  That is some kind of cold!!  Unbelievable to the skin!!  It was nice having yesterday out from school, but too cold to do much of anything outside.  I did get caught up on work in my house and also caught a few extra Zzzz's, which is always appreciated.  Try to stay warm tonight!

Reading Rally Today!!

Today is the Reading Rally!!!  I hope everyone is excited to attend because it should be funny and motivating.  I'm confident that everyone will be inspired to read, read, read, after today's rally!  No GS games today before the JH games.  Because of potential bad weather moving in, they moved the JH game up to a 4:30 start and just cancelled the GS game.  Looks like it's already getting bad out there--misty and overcast.  In both classes today we watched and practiced "Gotta Keep Reading" for the rally today, and we made sure everyone had a library book to take over to the rally!!

SR. Night--Tonight at the Ballgame

Tonight is Sr. night at the basketball game for our senior cheerleaders and athletes.  It is such a nice way to honor them and recognize their parents.  The ballgame starts at 6:30 against Ft. Supply.  The senior recognition will occur right before the girls game starts, I think.  I'm glad it's Friday.  Hope everyone has a stellar weekend!!
