Parents; The boys basketball games tomorrow in Union Grove have been changed. There will only be a varsity boys game @ 7:30 in Union Grove (no JV game), due to a scheduling conflict on their part.

A livestock show is an event where livestock are exhibited and judged on certain phenotypical breed traits as specified by their respective breed standard.
Working with cattle can be hard work, and it teaches students about dedication and determination. The animals must be fed and worked with day in and day out, even if the weather is bad or the student isn’t feeling the best.
Great job, Caitlynn!!
