I want to give a huge Thank You to Chuck Downum and Skylar Crisp for doing such a great job clearing the campus parking lots, sidewalks and more. We could not have had school today without their hard work for at least the last two days!
Also, thank you to parents who were able to get most of our kiddos to different bus stops or all the way to school. Over 80% attendance is not as good as normal, but pretty decent for running snow routes.
We are 2 weeks into our 6 week build season and thing are coming together! Check out this year's competition and the game animation at https://youtu.be/9keeDyFxzY4?si=FSPQS-l8vNTY_xI9
We are also going through our metal supplies really fast as our frame comes together! Want to help us out? We only need about $550 to finish out our Donors Choose campaign for metal and fasteners!!

This is a reminder that students going to college can be completing the FAFSA and AR Scholarship applications now. The FAFSA can be found at fafsa.gov and the state scholarship application can be found at https://sams.adhe.edu/. The state application includes several scholarships and grant opportunities. One of the most familiar is the Lottery Scholarship. The FAFSA is an application students will complete each year they are in college.
