Homecoming week has come and gone. This was Austin's big show as Freshman-class President and I must say he did an excellent job. It was a big undertaking. Austin discovered first-hand how challenging it is to manage people and projects. We are all very proud of him.

We picked up a cool black helmet for Conner today.

Happy Birthday to Conner who turned 10 today.

Mr. Popularity was chosen by his classmates to President of the Freshman class, what a way to start high school! I am proud of him. His first project is overseeing the Homecoming float. Fun.
