Our Kindergarten classes had a wonderful experience celebrating Dr. Seuss Day at the Falls City Library and Art Center! Students rotated through stations, enjoying crafts and engaging stories that brought the magic of Dr. Seuss to life. Additionally, when they returned to school, they were treated to a pizza party provided by Blessedx3 Boutique, making the day even more special! A big thank you to everyone who helped make this event a success!

In OxyAcetylene Welding Blakely Sells was the District Champion finishing first earning Gold and purple ribbon with the best overall Weldment and Wyatt Coonce finished in 8th place earning a Blue Ribbon.
