Some heartbreak news for Brooklynn and the XC team. Brooklynn sustained an injury to her foot. She was told by doctors today that she may not run at the state meet. Please send your Dragon love her way and let this awesome runner know that we appreciate her hard work and the achievement of qualifying for state. We hope this is fixable and that she will be back strong as ever next year. We are proud of you Brooklynn.
The HS Play is looking for some furniture for the upcoming production on Nov. 15 and 17th. They are looking for 1950s style living room furniture. Regardless if donations are to keep or just to borrow, we will treat them gently and with care. If anyone would be willing to donate some pieces, it would be very much appreciated. Please reach out to Brittany Wininger if you think you may have something to send. Thank you, thank you, thank you!

Pep Rally for our Cross Country Team was yesterday. Brooklynn Schmelzle qualified for the state cross country meet at Regionals last weekend. Despite most of the team running career best PR's, the Lady Dragons fell four points short of team qualifying. The boys ran well too, led by Layne Adcock who also had a career best. Coach Spade is pretty proud of what the team has accomplished this season and is already looking forward to next year! Great job Dragons!
