Oral Interp is fun student activity that allows students to interpret monologues, join a friend in a duet, or join a few in a reader's theater and show off their expressive selves! Going to competitions including Districts, Regions, and possibly State is a fun way to connect with other students around South Dakota. Please consider bringing your student to learn more about his great program!

Reminder Concussion Testing will take place Tuesday, July 23rd through Friday, July 26th 7 AM to Noon each day. This is for Grades 6-12 that are participating in athletics this year. Because Robert will be waxing the high school hallways this week, we will be testing in the high school teacher's work room. Students will need to enter through the high school entrance and then through the high school office doors to your left only and then to the teacher's work room from there. Please stay out of the hallways. There is no appointment needed just show up during one those times to test. Testing takes about 20 minutes to complete.

The junior class is excited to open clothing orders for the year! These can be worn at all Events all year long! This is a fundraiser for the junior class to help with prom and graduation! All items will be here in time for homecoming!
We will also be sending out information for order forms for outdoor flags next week, metal yard signs, sheet sales and hosting our 3rd annual Fall festival!!!
Please notice the closing date is the first week of school to get items here in time for homecoming!
