October is Principal Appreciation Month!

We are fortunate to have two great leaders who make a difference every day in the lives of our students, staff, families, and community.

Great principals lead with vision, serve with purpose, build relationships, and create a culture where others can succeed. Their commitment, hard work, and dedication often happen behind the scenes, but their impact is felt throughout our entire school district.

Please join me in recognizing and celebrating Ms. Grey and Ms. Brosa this month. We are grateful for the leadership, heart, and passion they bring to our schools each and every day.

MS Volleyball traveled to Troy tonight and faced Troy and Riverside. The A team was able to get a split with a win over Riverside. B team fought hard, but ended up losing both their matches. It's hard to believe that this is the last week for middle school volleyball! Finish strong Dragons!

Today was a wet day for Dragon cross country as they ran in the rain at Nemaha Central. Dakota Boyce was our only medalist. Again everyone saw much improvement in times and PR's. It was nice to run when it was not 95 degrees! Way to go Dragons.
