🎉 Congratulations to our State FBLA Qualifiers!
We are incredibly proud of all your hard work and accomplishments!
👏 Special shoutout to Kree, who placed 6th in Agribusiness!
While only the top 4 qualify for Nationals, Kree can submit his intent to remain on the “bump-up” list—meaning if anyone ahead of him drops, he could move up and earn a spot at Nationals. 🌟

Athlete of the week for girls track and field is Lilly Lane. Lilly continues to improve in both shot and disc and she ended with a league championship last Monday with a season best throw of 33'11.5". Continuing to throw as she is, her school record in the event won't last much longer.
Athlete of the week for boys track and field is Deon Wilson. Deon shows up each day ready to push forward and get stronger and faster. He is willing to fill in on a relay or try something new to try and earn the team points. Keep up the great work.

Shout to the HS Track and Baseball coaches for bringing their teams to the Game Day on Friday for some Team Building! We hope you had fun.

HECTOR of the Week
JH - Toki Tummolo -Toki is a natural leader. We are excited that he has returned to Las Animas schools with positive energy. He is
very polite to his teachers. He goes above and beyond to help his classmates learn. Toki is a great example of HECTOR
and a great addition to our school community.
HS - Olivia Marfil has been a stronger student this year across the board. She stepped up as a captain of cheer and led the team and has continuously been on the finishing side of tasks. She takes initiative, works hard to learn, and completes tasks without extra pushing from her teachers or peers
Staff: Mr. Vigil He continues to grow lasting relationships with students. He is very supportive of those who come to him for help, giving his best effort to solve any issue. His positive personality and can-do attitude make working with Mr. Vigil a highlight to any day.
