Congratulations to the 7th Grade, 8th Grade, and High School Band on an excellent showing at MSBOA District One Festival. The 7th graders showed tremendous growth and confidence for their first time out. We talked about how it's not so much the number they earn, but the growth they've experienced. And boy, has this group grown! They earned a III overall, which included a II in sight reading. Very proud of your progress and looking forward to see how far you go from here. The 8th graders came back after last year's III, focused in and came away with a Division II, including a I in sight reading! Your growth and improvement over the last year is a great example to the younger students - great job! The HS Band played a great program, demonstrating musicality and technicality, earning a Division I and the right to head to State! Well done, everyone - EYES WITH PRIDE!! :-)
What an INCREDIBLE Night to be a BUCK! Our first annual, “Building the Buckhood,” was a success! Thanks to all of the families that came out to show support. We had over 100 elementary students attend, and our very own 3rd graders did an excellent job singing the National Anthem. A BIG thanks to Mrs. Thompson, Mrs. Dennis, Mrs. Powell, Mrs. Wagatha, and to the entire Varsity Boy’s Basketball Team for planning this night! PRoud!
Congratulations to the following high school students that earned honor roll for the first semester this year. We’re so proud of your hard work!
