The band students had a great time on their trip to Minneapolis last weekend. They performed in schools, at the University of Minneapolis, and in the Mall of America. They also attended a Minnesota Twins ball game before coming home. Thanks to Mr. and Mrs. Dyck and the chaperones for making this experience possible!
The junior badminton students had a great day at the District Playoffs in Rocanville. Ethan Anderson played well in boys’ singles, Cody Hagel and Aaron Chapman (boys’ doubles) lost out in the semi-finals, and Makena Morrison and Haylee Barta won Gold in girls’ doubles. Congratulations to all of the players!
