Tomorrow the Pep Bus will leave at 4:30pm for the High School Boys Basketball Sectional at Trico. The game will begin at 7:00pm vs. Waltonville and the estimated arrival time back to the school will be 10:30pm. Students are allowed to stay after school until the bus leaves because there will be adult supervision. Also, there will be a staff member supervising the students on the pep bus. If any additional students would like to sign up for the bus tomorrow, please see Miss Miley in the gym by lunch time. Students who may require assistance with the $9.00 ticket cost are encouraged to let Miss Miley know because these tickets will be paid in full by donations. Also, students can purchase items from the concession stand that evening and donations will be given to students for this if needed. Let's fill the bus and wear our Cougar Gear!!!!

The 4-H🍀Hardin County Teen Teachers🍀 visited 3rd grade on Friday 2/20 and 4th grade on Monday 2/23.
3rd grade learned about the diversity of snowflakes and how each one is unique in it's own way.
4th grade learned about corn being one of America's biggest crops, how it was a gift from the Native Americans, and the anatomy of the corn plant itself.
