Junior High Pure Gold Members: we will meet this Friday at 1:00 pm in the high school to start packing birthday bags! Please mark your calendars.
Athletes of the Week
JV - Logan Wagner. Logan worked hard all year and last week finished strong, he took the opportunity and was able to score in his minutes. Good work Logan.
Varsity - Kollin Reyher. Kollin has worked hard all year and it looks like he is getting ready to roll offensively just in time for the postseason.
For the week of 02/05
JV-Alexis Greenbank
V- Mya Marfil came off the bench the last few games and used her role to contribute defensively on the court. She also took care of the ball offensively and minimized her turnovers. She asks questions and keeps everyone on the same page.
Week of 02/12
V- Emma Russell is a quick post who runs the floor and gets back when needed. Her post defense continues to grow and she works to keep the other teams out from under the basket. She has developed her shot and has a quick baseline jumper that helps the team offensively.
HECTOR of the Week
Staff - Mrs. Armstrong. Mrs. Armstrong is an advocate for the students and her compassion, dedication, and willingness to assist students is the definition of HECTOR. Her presence in the school is one of a kind and having her within our community is a blessing. Congrats, Mrs. Armstrong
JH - Jordan Dupree-Jordan is a great helper to her teachers. She works very hard in school and in sports. She has a super awesome sense of humor. She goes above and beyond when helping her teachers and her peers. She is an excellent example of HECTOR for our school!
HS - Madison Huffman comes to school each day looking for the best in the day and in everything she does. Her optimism is unmatched and her work is always wonderfully done. She is all of HECTOR each day and represents our school wonderfully in all she does.
Ms. Ashley and Ms. Yaz's class talked about the upcoming holiday so they had made Presidents Day hats last Thursday!

“Everyday Heroes”, that’s what Bent County Ambulance called two elementary students who they recognized at the celebration assembly last week. Myra Craig was recognized for remaining calm and calling 911 to get help and for wearing her seatbelt. Eve Tyler was recognized for remaining calm and giving the dispatcher a clear description of the problem to get a family member help. Great job girls, we are proud of you! 👏👍
