Soon the fifth-eighth graders will begin practices for their flag football and volleyball season where they will compete against other small schools in the area and the whole school will plant pumpkins in the school garden for the fall season. The school farm currently has five goats and with the chicken coop looking ready for some new chickens!

Huxley Higgins was excited to play at recess. Huxley commented that now the fourth-eighth graders get to have recess together and then the kindergarten-third graders have recess at another time. Huxley is in fifth grade and has Mrs. Hogan as his teacher. Huxley had Mrs. Hogan during her first year with the school as a first grade teacher.
