As a result of the success of our varsity boys' basketball team advancing to the Sectional Championship this Friday at 7pm in Watseka, we will be rescheduling our Spring Concert for our 5th-12th band and choir students. We want to make sure that both our basketball team and our music programs are given the attention and support that they both deserve and not competing against each other if we can help it. Therefore, we will be moving our Spring Concert to an open evening on the events calendar on Tuesday, March 15th at 7 p.m. We apologize for any inconvenience this causes. We hope that you consider attending both events and continuing to support our Minutemen!
It is monster time in art! Our high school art students pair with a kindergarten student to make the kindergartener's drawing of a monster come to life. Today was the initial consult day for the kindergarten students to share their visions with the high schoolers.
