Jr. High Boys Basketball @Trinidad on December 9th has been cancelled.

Jr. High Cheer: Jayla Japhet is our athlete of the week. During the Lamar competition she came in clutch learning a whole new role while two of her teammates were unable to compete. She helped her team win 1st place and we could not be more proud of her for her ability to step in and step up!
Varsity Cheer: Jordan Dupree is our athlete of the week! Jordan also had to take on a new role during the Lamar competition. She had one practice to learn a new section of cheer while we had an absent teammate. She was a very important component and she helped our team conquer Ellicott High School and Lamar High School in the competition. Way to go, Jordan!

Mixed Aged Fun at JumpStart Daycare from Ms. Keonna: We got bored during break so we busted out the playdough! Check out what we made!
Nova made a MELTING candle. Logan made the apples to go in Ms Keonna’s basket. Xzayvian made a pizza. Santos made a pancake. Elias made a popsicle. Nayelli made a person. And ms Keonna made a turkey and basket. We’re pretty inventive! (Side note incase you’re wondering, yes all 4 boys were matching today!! )
