A big thank you to Paul Oliveira for presenting the history, safety, and archery exposure to Ms. Payne’s 8th grade reading class. Students finished the novel “Brian’s Winter” by Gary Paulsen, which is a story about a teenager who survives the Canadian Wilderness with a hatchet and bow and arrow set. It was great to have this opportunity at Weldon Valley.

Unfortunately Dustin Price had something come up this afternoon so we have had to move fall sports pictures to Monday

Just a reminder that Fall Sports Pictures are tomorrow. Junior High Football players need to bring their blue uniforms for pictures.
