Track Headed to State, Winter/Spring Athletic Awards, and 6,7,8 grade Hello/Goodbye Dance

If you heard the sirens at 12:30 today, you know we were sending our track team to state at Jenison High School near Grand Rapids. 14 members of team headed up and will start at around 9:00 AM tomorrow morning. We wish them the best of luck and Mr. Weatherspoon and I will be up there to cheer them on! Go Rangers!

On Thursday evening, Mr. Guse and the coaches honored the athletes from all the winter and spring sports. It was a wonderful event and focused on the achievements of teams and individuals. A few scholarships were awarded as well and the students received the accolades they deserved.

Also on Thursday, the incoming 6th graders visited. They got to eat lunch at the high school, recieved a tour, were spoken to about academics, athletics, rules, and were able to ask questions. After that we held our annual Hello/Goodbye dance for grades 6-8. It was fun for everyone and special thanks to Mrs. Hargrove, Mrs. Ward and Mrs. Voss for helping to make that happen!
